Set up an equation like this and solve for x (which represents the number):

3(x + 6) = 2x - 5

3x + 18 = 2x - 5

x + 18 = -5

x = -23

You can complete a check to verify the answer:

3(-23 + 6) = 2(-23) - 5

3(-17) = -46 - 5

-51 = -51

Check.

We need to build two equations. We then need to make them equal to each other

Let’s have x as the number.
Ths sum of a number and 6 tripled.
We are first adding the number and 6: x+6
We need to triple it, meaning multiply by three:
3(x+6)

The result is five less than twice the number.
The equation we made equals the equation we are about to make.
We need to first multiply the number by two: 2x
Now subtract 5 since it’s five less: 2x-5

This is what our equation looks like:
2x-5=3(x+6)
Now we need to get x by itself.

Let’s first distribute.
2x-5=3x+18
Let’s add 5 to both sides.
2x=3x+23
Now, subtract 3x from both sides.
-1x=23
Divide.
23/-1=-23

If the number is -23, let’s check. We need to plug -23 in for x.
2(-23)-5=3(-23+6)
-46-5=3(-17)
-51= -51

So, the number is -23.

Work out the value of angle x.
Thepotemich [5.8K]
X=45


We already know that one angles is 90 degrees and that the full degrees inside a triangle is 180

So minus 90 from 180 and you get 90.

Since the other two angles are congruent that means they have the same measure so divide 90 by 2 to get the measure of both angles which is your answer

0.038 x 10 with a power of negative 2
Ghella [55]
The correct answer will be 0.00038

The easiest way to solve is if the exponent is positive you move the decimal to the right and if the exponent is negative the decimal moves to the left.

Which equation represents a line that passes through the point (−2, 6) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 3x − 4y = 6
mart [117]
Method 1:  Realize that the desired equation will look exactly the same as the given equation 3x − 4y = 6, except that the constant will be different.

Thus, the equation of the new line is   3(-2) − 4(6) = C, where C comes out to 30.

Then the new line is 3x - 4y = 30.

In the problem 3/4 • N=1, n must be
Serggg [28]

3/4 x n=1......n equals 4/3.

In order for n to equal 1 you have to find a number that will make 3/4 a whole number after you multiply it. Usually in problems like these the answer is usually the fraction but flipped around. So 3/4 and 4/3....when you multiply the    numerators you get 12 and when you multiply the denominator you get 12 so 12/12, which equals 1. hope that makes sense.
