So you need to find a number that goes into both of these numbers:
3 goes into both, so divide both by 3
27/3 = 9
42/3 = 14
so your answer is 9/14
Let's call the 'secret number' <em>x</em>.
A quotient is basically a Dividend/Divisor. If the Divisor is 4, we need to find the dividend, which is <em>x</em>.
<em />Therefore:
<em>x/4=9
</em><em />We need to isolate the variable by the multiplication property of equality.
<em>x=36</em>.
As a result, the "secret number" is 36
Answer:
x=20
Step-by-step explanation:
inverse operation
add 7 to both sides
x=20
