Call our original number n. Then here's what we did in an equation:
$(n*2-5)*2=2$

We can solve this for n:
$n*2-5=1$
$n*2=6$
$n=3$

At midnight, the temperature was -8oF. At noon, the temperature was 23oF. Which expression represents the increase in temperatur

irinina [24]

Answer:

$23^oF-(-8^oF)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that at midnight, the temperature was $-8^oF$ . At noon, the temperature was $23^oF$ .

Since our temperature has increased to 23 degree Fahrenheit from -8 degree Fahrenheit, we can represent this increase in temperature as:

$\text{The increase in temperature}=23^oF-(-8^oF)$

Therefore, the expression $23^oF-(-8^oF)$ represents the increase in temperature.

Solve for x: 3-x = 3(6x-9). Describe the process used to solve the equation and show each step.

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

$x=1.578$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is $3-x = 3(6x-9)$

We need to find the value of $x$

$3-x = 3(6x-9)$

Distribute $3$ in the right-hand side

$3-x=18x-27$

Add both sides $x$

$3-x+x=18x+x-27\\3=19x-27$

Now, add both sides $27$

$3+27=19x-27+27\\30=19x$

Divide both sides by $19$

$\frac{30}{19}=\frac{19x}{19}\\x=1.578$

So, $x=1.578$
