5 less than three times a number is 10

1 answer:

6 0

To find the algebraic expression, simply break the sentence into fragments.

Three times a number - 3x
5 less than three times a number is 5 - 3x.

This equals to 10.

5 - 3x = 10
-3x = 5
X = -5/3.

I believe this would be the solution.

What multiplies to 280 but also adds or subtracts to -34

Crazy boy [7]

The numbers are "a" and "b"
so we know a*b = 280 and a+b = -34

well $\bf \begin{cases}
ab=280\implies \boxed{b}=\cfrac{280}{a}\\\\
a+b=-34\\
----------\\
a+\boxed{\frac{280}{a}}=-34
\end{cases}$

solve for "a"

what's b? well, b = 280/a

The label on a can of lemonade gives the volume as 12 fl oz or 355ml . Verify that these two measurements are nearly equivalent

liraira [26]

We have been given that the label on a can of lemonade gives the volume as 12 fl oz or 355 ml and we are asked to verify that these two measurements are nearly equivalent.

Since we know that 1 fluid ounce equals 29.5735 ml. Let us find volume of lemonade can in ml by multiplying 12 by 29.5735.

$\text{Volume of can}=12\cdot29.5735$
