Answer:

The number is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If we need to find the hidden number, Which for simplicity's sake we will denote as "n", lets first write out the equation.

"2 x [n + (-3)] = 4"

We can work through this problem backwards. if we need two times the sum of "n" and (-3) to get to 4, the only number that can be multiplied by 2 to get a product of 4 is 2, so "n" + (-3) must equal 2. so, From here, we can figure out that since 5 + (-3) equals 2, "n" Must equal 5. so, if we plug in 5 for "n" the equation looks like this:

"2 x [5 + (-3)] = 4"

So, since the equation makes sense, the answer is, "n = 5"

Answer:

13

1.57

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have two equations regarding the number of quarters <em>q</em> and the number of pennies <em>p:</em>

<em />p+q<em />

Which represents the total amount of coins and

0.01p+0.25q

Which represents the total amount of money in dollars.

So we are asked to evaluation each expression for the situation in which we have 6 quarters and 7 pennies. Thus, plug 6 in for <em>q</em> and 7 in for <em>p:</em>

<em />p+q\\(7)+(6)=13<em />

This tells us that we have 16 coins in total.

0.01(7)+0.25(6)\\=0.07+1.50\\=1.57

This tells us that we have a total amount of $1.57.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:  6 or -6

hello,

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say n the number

\dfrac{2}{3} *n^2-7=17\\\Longrightarrow\ \dfrac{2}{3} *n^2=24\\\Longrightarrow\ n^2=\dfrac{3*24}{2}\\\Longrightarrow\ n^2=36\\\Longrightarrow\ (n-6)(n+6)=0\\\\n=6\ or\ n=-6\\
