Remark

Reading the problem is more than 1/2 the trouble you will have with this question.

Start phrase by phrase.  Let the number = x

The first phrase is 8 times a number so that is 8x

increased by 9. So that is 8x + 9

exceeds 7 times the number 8x + 9 - 7x

by 15 (translate that to equals 15)

Equation

8x + 9  -  7x = 15      Combine like terms.

x + 9 = 15                  Subtract 9

x = 15 - 9

x = 6

Turn it into math terms bit by bit. let x be "a number"

8 times a number is 8×x

increased by 9 is +9

7 times a number is 7×x

exceeds is minus

by 15 is =15

now we put it together.

8 \times x + 9 - 7 \times x = 15
solve
8x + 9 - 7x = 15 \\ x + 9 = 15 \\ x = 6

Please help,ive been stuck on it fir two days

The square root of 73. Since the theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2 and only works with right triangles. You take 2/2 the base so you have a right triangles with a hypotenuse if 9 and a side of 3. Then you just plug in to solve.

5, 4 7/8, 4 9/10 in order least to greatest
Klio2033 [76]

The order from least to greatest is 4 7/ 8, 4 9/ 10 , 5

<h3>What are fractions?</h3>

Fractions are simply representatives of part of a whole.

The types of fraction are;

  • Mixed fractions
  • Simple fractions
  • Improper fractions
  • Proper fractions

From the information given, we have to arrange in order from least to greatest

5, 4 7/8, 4 9/10

Turn mixed fractions to improper fractions;

5, 39/ 8 , 49/ 10

From least to greatest is written thus;

39/ 8, 49/ 10 , 5

Thus, the order from least to greatest is 4 7/ 8, 4 9/ 10 , 5

Evaluate the expression 2n - 6 if n = 16.
V125BC [204]

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

2n-6

Given that:

n=16

To evaluate the expression, we must simply substitute the given value of n, which is 16, for n:

2(16)-6

Multiply:

32-6

Subtract:

26

-

To check your work, simply set the given expression equal to our solution, 26:

2n-6=26

Add 6 to both sides of the equation:

2n=32

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of n, which is 2:

n=16

Since it matches the given value of n, our solution is correct!
