5 less (-5) than 1/3 of number (n/3) is (=) 2 more than (2+) half of the number (n/2)


-5+n/3=2+n/2
add 5 to both sides
n/3=n/2+7
times 6 both sides
2n=3n+42
minus 2n both sides
0=n+42
minus 42 boh sides
-42=n

the number is -42


the number is 18

The answer is x = 10, y = 10.

Step 1: rearrange the second equation for y.
Step 2: substitute y from the second equation into the first equation.
Step 3. Calculate y.

Step 1.
<span>The second equation is: 6x + 3y = 90
Divide both sides of the equation by 3:
(6x + 3y)/3 = 90/3
6x/3 + 3y/3 = 30
2x + y = 30
Rearrange the equation:
y = 30 - 2x

Step 2.
</span>Substitute y from the second equation (y = 30 - 2x) into the first equation:
<span>15x + 9y = 240
15x + 9(30 - 2x) = 240
15x + 270 - 18x = 240
15x - 18x = 240 - 270
-3x = -30
x = -30/-3
x = 10

Step 3.
Since </span>y = 30 - 2x and x = 10, then:
y = 30 - 2 * 10
y = 30 - 20
y = 10

If p(x) = 2x2 – 4x and q(x) = x – 3, what is mc007-1.jpg? 2x2 – 4x + 12 2x2 – 16x + 18 2x2 – 16x + 30 2x2 – 16x + 15
Rainbow [258]
P(x) = 2x² - 4xq(x) = x - 3
To find the answer, we plug q(x) into p(x):
p(q(x)) = 2(x - 3)² - 4(x - 3)p(q(x)) = 2(x² - 6x + 9) - 4x + 12p(q(x)) = 2x² - 12x + 18 - 4x + 12p(q(x)) = 2x² - 16x + 30
The third option is correct.
