The number is -6.67

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "n" be the number

From given,

\text{ Five less than 1/5 times a number } = \frac{1}{5}n - 5 = \frac{5}{n} - 5

\text{Sum of number and 1/3 } = n + \frac{1}{3} =\frac{3n+1}{3}

Given that,

Five less than 1/5 times a number is the same as the sum of the number and 1/3

Therefore, we get,

\frac{n}{5} - 5 = n + \frac{1}{3}\\\\Simplify\ the\ expression\\\\n - 25 = 5(n + \frac{1}{3})\\\\n - 25 = 5n + \frac{5}{3}\\\\n - 25 = \frac{15n + 5}{3}\\\\3n - 75 = 15n + 5\\\\12n = -80\\\\n = -6.67

Thus the number is -6.67

What values of b and c make ADEF AWVU?
Alex

Answer:

b = 10, c = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

For the triangles to be congruent by the HL postulate, then

UW = DF ( hypotenuse are congruent ), that is

12b - 34 = 5b + 36 ( subtract 5b from both sides )

7b  0 34 = 36 ( add 34 to both sides )

7b = 70 ( divide both sides by 7 )

b = 10

and

UV = EF ( legs are congruent )

4c - 9 = 3c ( subtract 3c from both sides )

c - 9 = 0 ( add 9 to both sides )

c = 9
