Answer:

2(n-6)=12

(I went too far in my explanation; I'm not going to erase it because I think it is important to have an example on solving these)

Step-by-step explanation:

Twice the difference of a number and 6 is the same as 12.

Twice means 2 times

Difference means the result of subtracting something.

is the same as means equal to (=).

So we are given 2(n-6)=12.

You can start by dividing 2 on both sides are distributing 2 to terms in the ( ).

I will do it both ways and you can pick your favorite.

2(n-6)=12

Divide both sides by 2.

 n-6  =6

Add 6 on both sides

 n     =12

OR!

2(n-6)=12

Distribute 2 to both terms in the ( )

2n-12=12

Add 12 on both sides

2n    =24

Divide both sides by 2

n       =12

A man on the fifth floor of a building shouts down to a person on the street. If the angle of elevation from the street to the m
Vesnalui [34]
57 ft because drawing it up, we can make a right angled triangle with the right angle between the height of the man in the building and the distance out from the building of the man in the street, and the 35 degrees between the line connecting the man in the street with the man in the building, and the line out from the building of the man in the street. Then, tan of the 35 degree angle is = to opposite (40ft)/adjacent (to solve for). By cross multiplication, the A or adjacent (dist out from the building) = 40/0.7 (0.7 = tan of 35 degrees) so the answer is 57 ft.

Roger served 5/8 pound of cracker wich was 2/3 of the entire box what was the weight of the crackers originally in the box
horrorfan [7]
Answer:
original weight of the box = 15 / 16 pounds

Explanation:
Assume that the original amount in the box is x.
We are given that:
5/8 pounds represent 2/3 of the total amount (x).
This can be translated into the following equation:
(2/3) x = 5 / 8

Now, we will solve for x as follows:
(2/3) x = 5 / 8
Multiply both sides by 24 to get rid of the denominators as follows:
(2/3) x * 24 = (5 / 8) * 24
16 x = 15
Divide both sides by 16 to isolate the x as follows:
x = 15 / 16 pounds

Hope this helps :)
