Answer:

<u>The numbers are 12 and 32.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

x = One number

x - 20 = Another number

3x - (x - 20) = 84 (If the lesser number is subtracted from three times the greater number, the difference is 84)

Let's solve for x, this way:

3x - (x - 20) = 84

3x - x + 20 = 84

2x = 84 - 20 (Subtracting 20 at both sides)

2x = 64

x = 64/2

<u>x = 32 ⇒ x - 20 = 12</u>

2x-2 must be zero or greater, since we cannot have a negative quantity under the radical sign (unless we allow for imaginary roots).

Solving 2x-2≥0, we get x-1≥0, or x≥1.  x must be equal to or greater than 1.


16 - 16, so the answer to the 2nd problem is the fourth one:  x=4.

Naruto ran 634 miles today, and Sakura Ran412 miles. How many times the length of Sakura's distance was Naruto's distance? Selec
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question reads much more complicatedly than the actual equation.

Sakura * x = Nanuto

412 x = 634     Divide by 412

x = 634/412

x = 1.54 times

The closest answer is 3/2 as far. 1.54 is just about 3/2.

Given that a/x =12-3a,find the value of x when a=8
monitta
8 / x = 12 - 3(8)
8 / x = 12 -24
8 / x = -12 
x = -0.66666666667

Check your work

8 /(-0.66666666667) = 12- 3(8)
-12 = 12 - 3(8)
-12 = -12

x = -0.66666666667 Exactaly (Ten 6's One 7)

Hope this helps :)
