What’s six less than twice a number is the same as the number increased by seven

Social Studies

Oduvanchick [21]4 years ago

First thing's first we need to figure out an equation to solve the problem. Let's call our mystery number "x." 

First, I'll examine the first part of the problem. "Six less than twice a number..." Well, we know that twice a number is our number multiplied by 2. In other words, 2x. Less than indicates that we must subtract. So the first expression is 2x-6. 

To say that this expression is the same as another is to say that they are equal. So now we have 2x-6=..... The second expression is seven less than x, or x-7.

Setting that equal to our first expression, we get 2x-6=x-7. Now we can solve for x.

2x-x-6=-7
x-6=-7
x=-7+6
x=-1

Our number is -1! Plug it back in to the original equation we made to double check.

3. What perception do people around the world have of South Africa? Why do you think they have that perception?
NikAS [45]

Answer:

People around the world have different perspectives on South Africa.  South Africa is one of the wealthier countries in Africa, and it thrives on its tourism industry.  This means other African countries may be envious of their wealth.  In North America, and other parts of the world people may have a limited knowledge of South Africa, except for sensationalism in the news, so they may feel South Africa is a dangerous country.  There is a decent Muslim population in South Africa, so other Muslim countries may think about South Africa positively.  There are so many factors than can influence people's perception of places and things, from the media, to what they hear from others, that it is difficult to say what the world thinks about a place, since it differs so widely.

Describe the extension of U.S. citizenship after the 14th amendment for African Americans
nalin [4]

Answer:

After the 14th amendment, African people were granted with the right to obtain equal protection under the law and the right to vote during the election.

But, most of the states still made active efforts to limit the representation that African Americans have within the government.

For example, most southerns states require its people to pass literacy test before they can vote. These tests disqualified majority of African Americans to vote since most of them did not receive proper education during their slavery.

How does the stock market affect the economy? (1 point) a When prices in the stock market are up nothing happens. If they are do
wlad13 [49]

Answer: a. When prices in the stock market are up nothing happens. If they are down, the economy is in trouble.

Explanation:

The beauty of the economy is when the stock market is up. It means there would be more money in circulation to do businesses and when businesses are done the economy is wealthy and everyone is affected positively to a great extent. When there is a crash in the stock market it demoralizes the economic growth and lower stock price would mean a reduction in money used in businesses as companies won't want to commit much funds to doing business.
