Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number. The problem statement tells you ...
2/3(3x +6) = 10
2x +4 = 10 . . . . . . use the distributive property
x +2 = 5 . . . . . . . . divide by 2
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 3
The number is 3.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
The above shows an "alternative" solution method. The more usual way this might be done is ...
2(3x +6) = 30 . . . . . multiply by 3 to clear fractions
6x +12 = 30 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
6x = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x² + x + 3/4
in general, such a quadratic function is defined as
f(x) = a×x² + b×x + c
the solution for finding the values of x where a quadratic function value is 0 (there are as many solutions as the highest exponent of x, so 2 here in our case)
x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)
in our case
a = 1
b = 1
c = 3/4
x = (-1 ± sqrt(1² - 4×1×3/4))/(2×1) =
= (-1 ± sqrt(1 - 3))/2 = (-1 ± sqrt(-2))/2 =
= (-1 ± sqrt(2)i)/2
x1 = (-1 + sqrt(2)i) / 2
x2 = (-1 - sqrt(2)i) / 2
remember, i = sqrt(-1)
f(x) has no 0 results for x = real numbers.
for the solution we need to use imaginary numbers.
Answer:
y=15
Step-by-step explanation:
Because of the exterior angle theorem angle A plus angle b or equal to 146.
so you set 5y+3+4y+8=146 and solve
5y+3+4y+8=146
9y+11=146
9y=135
y=15
