Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number. The problem statement tells you ...
2/3(3x +6) = 10
2x +4 = 10 . . . . . . use the distributive property
x +2 = 5 . . . . . . . . divide by 2
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 3
The number is 3.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
The above shows an "alternative" solution method. The more usual way this might be done is ...
2(3x +6) = 30 . . . . . multiply by 3 to clear fractions
6x +12 = 30 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
6x = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
Answer:
X = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
Answer:
-700½ meters or -700.5 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Usually, the depths below the ground are denoted by the minus sign.
Seven hundred and five-tenths meters mean 700+(5/10) which is equal to 700+1/2. So, the answer becomes -700½ meters or -700.5 meters.
