Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's disect the problem. Three times a particular number plus fourteen equals 20. Let's make an equation, and replace the number with x.

<h2>3x + 14 = 20</h2><h3>The "3x" represents the 3 times the number,</h3><h3>the 14 represents the 14 added to make 20.</h3><h2>Let's solve the equation!</h2>

We'll first minus 14 from each side to balance the equation, but with the intention of isolating the variable, x.

We have almost successfully isolated the variable. To isolate the variable, we can divide by three on each side.

<h2>x = 2</h2><h2>The number is 2.</h2>

Darlene has 59 pages to type. so far she gas type 23 pages. what fraction of the job is finished

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

$\frac{23}{59}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction can be found be taking the current amount over the total amount:

$\frac{current}{total}=\frac{23}{59}$

Since Darlene has only typed 23 pages out of 59, her fraction is 23 over 59. Fractions must always be in simplest form, which means that both the numerator and denominator can no longer be divided by the same factor. Since the numbers 23 and 59 are both prime and have no other factors other than 1 and themselves, the fraction 23/59 is in simplest form.
