Answer: -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= the number

2x-4=x-10 ⇔ according to the statement

  x-4=-10 ⇔ subtraction property of equality (subtract x from both sides)

     x=-6 ⇔ addition property of equality (add 4 on both sides)

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

n = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright so this can be solved by using variables. Let's say n = number.

4 subtracted from twice a number can be represented as 2n - 4.

10 less than the number can be represented as n - 10.

Since the outcome of the first expression is equal to the second, we can set them equal to each other to solve:

2n - 4 = n - 10.

Then you isolate n by adding 4 to both sides...

2n = n - 6,

... then subtracting n from both sides:

n = -6

There you go!

Find the value of BC. HELP PLEASE!!
Masteriza [31]

It's an equilateral triangle, therefore

AB = BC = BA

We have the equation:

\dfrac{3}{2}x-12=\dfrac{1}{2}x-2\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 2}\\\\3x-24=1x-4\qquad\text{add 24 to both sides}\\\\3x=x+20\qquad\text{subtract x from both sides}\\\\2x=20\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\x=10

BC=BA\to BC=\dfrac{1}{2}(10)-2=5-2=3

<h3>Answer: BC = 3</h3>

In the Sahara Desert one day it was 146°F. In the Gobi Desert a temperature of -35°F was recorded. What is the difference betwee
VMariaS [17]
The difference is 181 degrees.

Subtract 146 by -35 (146 - -35)
When a negative it being subtracted replace it with a positive because two negatives make a positive (146+35) which gets you 181
