Answer:
<u>The number is 296.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call "x" to the number we are looking for.
Now, the problem states that "5 more than the quotient of a number and 8 is 42". This means that this number is being divided by 8, it's also being additioned 5 and the final result is 42. Therefore, the expression of this operations on this number is the following:
. Let's solve the equation to find x.
1. Write the expression.

2. Substract 5 from both sides and simplify.

3. Multiply 8 on both sides and simplify.

<u>We have found our number, it's 296!</u>

Answer:
55 = 5 × 11
Step-by-step explanation:
The only prime factors of 55 are 5 and 11, thus
55 = 5 × 11
-7x+12-2x=23+13x
First take away 13x from the right side and put it on the left side adding taking it away from -7x
-7x(-13x)=-20x
-20x+12-2x=23
then add 2x to -20x
and move 12 to the other side, minus it off of 23
-18x=11
then divide -18x on both sides
then x=-11/18
The tank WILL overflow.
60*30*40= 72000cm^3
<em>The max volume the fish tank can hold: 72000cm^3</em>
amount of L * 1000= cm^3
70L * 1000= 70000cm^3
<em>There is already 70000cm^3 of water in the tank</em>
70000cm^3 + 3000cm^3 = 73000cm^3
The tank can only hold 72000cm^3 and the water and rocks are 73000cm^3, so the tank will overflow.
