4x-8=4x-6

4x-2=4x add 6 to both sides

-2=x subtract 4x from both sides

4x-8=2(2x-3)
Use distributive property for 2(2x-3)
4x-8=2*2x-2*3
4x-8=4x-6
Add 8 to each side
4x-8+8=4x-6+8
4x=4x+2
Subtract 4x to each side
4x-4x=4x+2-4x
0x=2
Divided 0 to each side
0x/0=2/0
x=undefined. As a result, there is no solution to this equation. Hope it help!

The difference of three and the reciprocal of a number is equal to the quotient of 20 and the number. Find the number.

Monica [59]

Equation to find number: $\frac{1}{n}$ - 3 = $\frac{20}{n}$

Number's value: n = $-\frac{19}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the unknown number.

The reciprocal basically makes the number (n in this case) a fraction. So, that being said, the reciprocal of n would be $\frac{1}{n}$ .

The difference of three and the reciprocal of a number ( $\frac{1}{n}$ ) would be $\frac{1}{n}$ - 3.

The quotient of 20 and the number (n) would be $\frac{20}{n}$ .

So, with this information we've gathered so far, we can come up with an equation to find what the number equals.

Equation: $\frac{1}{n}$ - 3 = $\frac{20}{n}$

To find what the number equals we must solve the equation.

Karen has 1/2 cup of sugar. She is baking cookies and needs 1 1/3 cups for a recipe. How much more sugar does she need If she wa

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

3 1/2 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by figuring out how much sugar Karen needs in total.

She needs (1+1/3) cups for her original recipe. To triple that, we need (1+1/3) 3 times. We can calculate this by multiplying it by 3.

(1+1/3) * 3 = 3 + 1 = 4

Karen needs 4 cups in total. She has 1/2 cup. The difference is how much more she needs. Therefore, she needs 4 - 1/2 = 3 1/2 cups
