Answer:

<h2>The difference of a number and 4.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence that represents better the given expression is <em>"The difference of a number and 4"</em>.

Mainly because states the difference in the right order, first the unknown number, which is called "a number", and in second place the number 4, referring to the difference is the subtract of 4 units from the number, not in the opposite way.

On the other hand, "a number less than 4" specifies that the unknown number is minor than 4, which is not true. "the sum of a number and 4" is completely wrong, because there's no sum at all. "Four less a number" refers to a difference but in the opposite way 4-x.

Therefore, the right answer is

<h3>The difference of a number and 4.</h3>

Me. Silvera bought a can of paint. He used 3/8 of it to paint a fence and 1/4 to paint a table top. He painted a chair with some
LuckyWell [14K]
Well, seeing the information above, he used 5/8 of paint to paint the fence and table top. If he only had 1/8 left of the paint, he used 2/8 on the chair.

I found the 5/8 because I needed a common denominator. I multiplied the top and bottom by 2 to get 2/8. 3/8+2/8=5/8, and then I added 2/8 to the 5/8 that then gave me 7/8 of paint used, and 1/8 of paint left. 

Hope I helped!

3⁄2 c + 23 = 38<br><br> can you help me find out what c is pretty please
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

C=10

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, first, you have to isolate it on one side of the equation. Remember, isolate c on one side of the equation.

3/2c+23-23=38-23 (subtract 23 from both sides.)

38-23 (solve.)

38-23=15

3/2c=15

2*3/2c=15*2 (multiply 2 from both sides.)

15*2 (solve.)

15*2=30

3c=30

3c/3=30/3 (divide by 3 from both sides.)

30/3 (solve.)

30/3=10

c=10
