If 3 is added to a number and the sum is tripled, the result is 21 more than the number. find the number.

1 answer:

7 0

<span>If 3 is added to the number: x + 3
b) ...and the sum is tripled..
"The sum" is "x + 3" so: 3(x+3)
c) ...the result is 27 more than the number.
27 more than the number is x + 27
d) Put it all together:
3(x + 3) = x + 27
Solve for x:
1) Distribute the left side of the equation:
3x + 9 = x + 27

2) Subtract x from each side of the equation:
2x + 9 = 27
3) Subtract 9 from each side of the equation:
2x = 18
4) Solve for x:
x = 9
Check:
1) x = 9
2) 3(x + 3) = x + 27
3) 3 ([9] + 3) = [9] + 27
4) 3(12) = 9 + 27
5) 36 = 36

So, therefore The answer is correct</span>

Can a triangle have angle measures as 140,43, and 7

Mariulka [41]

The angles in a triangle always add up to exactly 180 degrees. To see if this can be a triangle, add up the given angle measures. If the sum is not 180, then it cannot be a triangle.

140+43+7=190

A triangle CANNOT have the angles measures as 140, 43, and 7.

Hope this helps!!
