Answer:
Let the original number be x
Successor is defined as the number which comes immediately after a particular number.
also, the successor of a whole number is the number obtained by adding 1 to that number.
Then, the successor of a number x is, x+1
As per the given condition :
we have;
Using distributive property on LHS (i.e, 
)
Then, we have
5x+5+x=83
Combine like terms;
6x+5=83
Subtract 5 from both the sides we get;
6x+5-5=83-5
Simplify:
6x=78
Divide both side by 6,
Simplify:
x =13
Therefore, the original number x is, 13
Answer:
Theresa is 58.82 in tall
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x----------> Paul and Steve heights
y----------> Theresa height
we know that
1 1/2-------> 3/2---> 1.5
1 1/3-------> 4/3----> 1.33
Paul says he is 16 inches shorter than 1 1/2 times Theresa's height
x=1.5y-16-------> equation 1
Steve says he's 6 inches shorter than 1 1/3 times Theresa's height
x=1.33y-6------> equation 2
equals 1 and 2
1.5y-16=1.33y-6
1.5y-1.33y=-6+16
0.17y=10----------> y=58.82 in
x=1.5y-16------> 1.5*(58.82)-16------> x=72.24 in
the answer is
Theresa is 58.82 in tall
<u>Option C is correct </u><u>(y + z = 6) ⋅ −3</u>
What is a linear equation in math?
- A linear equation only has one or two variables.
- No variable in a linear equation is raised to a power greater than 1 or used as the denominator of a fraction.
- When you find pairs of values that make a linear equation true and plot those pairs on a coordinate grid, all of the points lie on the same line.
As per the statement -
A student is trying to solve the system of two equations given below:
Equation P: y + z = 6 ....[1]
Equation Q: 3y + 4z = 1 ....[2]
Multiply the equation [1] by -3 to both sides we have;
-3 .( y + z = 6 ) ⇒ -3y -3z = -18..........(3)
Add equation [2] and [3] to eliminate the y-term;
z = -17
Therefore, the possible step used in eliminating the y-term is, (y + z = 6) ⋅ −3

Answer:
{-1, 4}
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given f(x) = -1/2x^2 + 3/2x - 2
set f(x) = 0 and then multiply all the numeric terms by -2 to remove the fractions:
f(x) = -1/2x^2 + 3/2x - 2 = 0 => 1x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0
This factors into (x - 4)(x + 1) = 0, whose roots are {-1, 4}. These are the zeros.
