<h3>20 subtracted from three times a number is 6 more than the number. Then the number is 13</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>Given statement is:</u></em>
20 subtracted from three times a number is 6 more than the number
We can translate the sentence into algebraic expression
Let "a" be the unknown number
Then,
20 subtracted from three times "a" is 6 more than "a"
Which means,
3a - 20 = 6 + a
3a - a = 6 + 20
2a = 26
Divide both sides by 2
a = 13
Thus the number is 13
Answer:
5x^3-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Two less than the product of 5 and the cube of a number.
The product of 5 and the cube of a number can be translated to look like 5x^3.
You then take 5x^3 and subtract 2 to get 5x^3-2.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
length = 48 feet , width = 32 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Using
2W + 2L = 160 with W = L - 16 , then
2(L - 16) + 2L = 160 ← distribute and simplify left side
2L - 32 + 2L = 160
4L - 32 = 160 ( add 32 to both sides )
4L = 192 ( divide both sides by 4 )
L = 48
Substitute L = 48 into W = L - 16
W = 48 - 16 = 32
Thus length = 48 feet and width = 32 feet
