Mathematics

Answer:

Let X be the number.

Twice the number would be 2x

The difference between the two, would be subtraction, so you would subtract 4 from 2x


The equation becomes 2x-4 = 16


Now solve for x:

2x-4 = 16

Add 4 to each side:

2x = 20

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 20/2

x = 10


The number is 10.

Help please math ..??
astraxan [27]

Answer:

(3, - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 4y = -11

2x + 3y = -9

Multiply the top equation by 2 and the bottom equation by - 5 to cancel out the x's.

10x - 8y = - 22

- 10x - 15y = 45

Cancel out x's.

-8y = - 22

- 15y = 45

Add like terms.

- 23y = 23

Can't have a negative variable to flip them.

-23 = 23y

Divide.

y = - 1

Input y into one of the equations and solve for x.

2x + 3(-1) = -9

Simplify.

2x -3 = -9

Cancel out -3 by adding 3.

2x = -6

Divide.

x - -3

What is 76/10 in a mixed number??
cestrela7 [59]
A mixed number is in the form x y/z while a improper fraction (76/10) is in the form y/z. We can separate the fraction into two parts. One is 70/10 which = 7 and the other is 6/10 which simplifies to 3/5. So, in order to express 76/10 as a mixed number we must express it as 7 3/5 or 7 6/10. 7 3/5 is equal to 7 6/10.

I hope this helped you!
