Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number. If the question is 2x-8, the answer is 10. If the question is 8-2x, the answer is -2. The answer is probably 10, though. The larger number is usually given first.

What is the solution to the compound inequality 3x-8>-5 and 2x-7<5
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

<h2>1 < x < 6 ⇒ x ∈ (1, 6)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 8  > -5              <em>add 8 to both sides</em>

3x > 3        <em>divide both sides by 3</em>

x > 1

2x - 7 < 5            <em>add 7 to both sides</em>

2x < 12          <em>divide both sides by 2</em>

x < 6

From x > 1 and x < 6 we have the solution 1 < x < 6 ⇒ x ∈ (1, 6)

Fifteen more than half a number is 9
rusak2 [61]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.

We have then:

x: unknown number

We now write the equation that models the problem:

(\frac{1}{2}) x + 15 = 9

From here, we clear the value of x.

We multiply both sides of the equation by 2:

(\frac{2}{2}) x + 2 (15) = 2 (9)\\x + 30 = 18

We subtract 30 on both sides of the equation:

x + 30 - 30 = 18 - 30\\x = -12

Answer:

The value of the unknown number is given by:

x = -12
