Find a number such that one-half of the number is 9 less than two-thirds of the number

1 answer:

3 0

Let's say, the number is "a"
thus $\bf \cfrac{1}{2}a=\cfrac{2}{3}a-9\implies \cfrac{a}{2}=\cfrac{2a}{3}-9\implies \cfrac{a}{2}=\cfrac{2a-27}{3}$

cross-multiply and solve for "a"

Answer: x=-10, y=13

Step-by-step explanation:

$-3x+2y=56\\-5x-2y=24$

+2y-2y = 0, eliminating y is much easier. So -3x-5x = -8x and 56+24 = 80

$-8x=80\\x=-10$

Substitute x in any equations but only 1 equation (Don't substitute in both equations.)

For me, I'd substitute x in -3x+2y=50

$-3(-10)+2y=56\\30+2y=56\\2y=56-30\\2y=26\\y=13$

So the answer is x = -10, y = 13

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ML is the short side of right triangle MLK. MJ is the hypotenuse of right triangle MKJ. This gives you a clue that the ratios of interest are the short side to the hypotenuse. All these right triangles are similar, so ...

ML/MK = MK/MJ . . . . . ratio of short side to hypotenuse is the same

ML·MJ = MK² . . . . . . . cross multiply

MK = √(ML·MJ) . . . . . the geometric mean of ML and MJ is MK
