Three-sevenths of a number is 21. Find the number

Mathematics
1 answer:
Neporo4naja [7]3 years ago

Let x = the unknown number.
Because three-sevenths of the number is 21, therefore
(3/7)x = 21

That is
(3x)/7 = 21

Multiply each side by 7.
3x = 21*7 = 147

Divide each side by 3.
x = 147/3 = 49

Answer:  49

If 3x + 5y = 2 and 2x - 4y = 20, what is 5x - y?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

= 298/11

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5y = 2 | ×2 |

2x - 4y = 20 | ×3 |

6x + 10y = 4

6x - 12y = 60

____________--

22y = -56

y = -56/22

y = -28/11

3x + 5y = 2 | ×4 |

2x - 4y = 20 | ×5 |

12x + 20y = 8

10x - 20y = 100

_____________+

22x = 108

x = 108/22

x = 54/11

5x - y

= 5(54/11) - (-28/11)

= 270/11 + 28/11

= 298/11
