Lets say the number = x

Six times a number is decreased by 9, the result is 3
6 times x is decreased by 9, the result is 3  
(decreased means to subtract and results means equals)

6x - 9 = 3         (add 9 to each side)
    <u> +9    +9</u>
6x = 3 + 9
6x = 12            (divide each side by 6)
6x/6 = 12/6
x = 2


The number is 2

the sum of 3 consecutive integers is 29 less than 5 times the smallest number. find the three numbers
allochka39001 [22]

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 5x - 29

Combine like terms.

3x + 3 = 5x - 29

Subtract 3x from both sides.

3 = 2x - 29

Add 29 to both sides.

32 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2.

16 = x

3/7 =9/x<br><br><br><br> solve the following proportions ( they are fractions) thanks!
tresset_1 [31]
3/7 = 9/x
cross multiply because thats how u solve proportions
(3)(x) = (7)(9)
3x = 63
x = 63/3
x = 21

and if u will notice : 3/7 and 9/21 ....9/21 reduces to 3/7....so these are equivalent fractions...because proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions

Answer:

n = -3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression \frac{\sqrt[5]{b} }{\sqrt[]{b} }

\frac{\sqrt[5]{b} }{\sqrt[]{b} } \\= \frac{b^{1/5}}{b^{1/2}} \\= b^{1/5-1/2}\\= b ^{2-5/10}\\= b^{-3/10}\\Compare \ b^n \ with \  b^{-3/10}\\\\n = -3/10
