97. The great wall is more than 20 000 kilometers long. And about ¾ of it is considered as properly preserved. I guess you are asking about the value of ¾ which is properly preserved in the said length of the great wall. => ¾ = 0.75 Thus, the formula would be like this: => 20 000 * .75 = 15 000 Thus, the ¾ value of great wall that is preserved is equals to 15 000 kilometers long,

Six times a number increased by 20 is four less than eight times the number. Find the number

Greetings!

"Six times a number increased by 20 is four less than eight times the number. Find the number."...

This would be, as an equation:
 $6x+20=8x-4$

Solve:
Add 4 and -6x to both sides.
$(6x+20)+4+(-6x)=(8x-4)+4+(-6x)$
Simplify.
$24=2x$
Divide both sides by 2.
$(24)/2=(2x)/2$
Simplify.
$12=x$
$x=12$

x=12

Hope this helps.
