2/3*n-4 = 2*n

subtract 2/3 n from each side

-4 = 2n - 2/3 n

-4 = 6/3 n - 2/3 n

-4 = 4/3 n

multiply by 3/4 on each side

-4 * 3/4 = n

-3 = n

The number is -3

Answer:

n = -3


Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be n.  Then (2/3)n-4 = 2n.

Solve for n.  To accomplish this, start by mult. both sides by 3, to remove the fractional coefficient:  2n - 12 = 6 n, or -12 = 4n.  then n = -3 (answer)

What is the least common multiple. Thanks.
o-na [289]

Before we start, find the LCM of 9, 5, and 5, which is 1. The least common multiple for the x is x^3, because it is the smallest exponent. The smallest multiple for y is 0, because the last factor doesn't even have y. For z, it is z^2. So your answer is 1x^3z^2, or just x^3,z^2.
