Even though we don't know the number yet, we need to give it some kind of label
so that we can work with it. We can call it anything. I'd like to call it ' G '.
The number we're looking for is ' G '.
Half of it is 1/2 G
The sum of that and 6 is 1/2 G + 6
Ten times that is 10 (1/2 G + 6)
The question says that's 8.
So 10 (1/2 G + 6) = 8
Divide each side by 10 : 1/2 G + 6 = 0.8
Subtract 6 from each side: 1/2 G = - 5.2
Multiply each side by 2 : G = - 10.4
That seems like a weird answer. We should check it.
The number: -10.4
Half the number: - 5.2
The sum of half the number and 6: -5.2 + 6 = +0.8
Ten times that sum: 8
Yep ! By golly, sho nuff, dV-dT and E to the X !
Everything checks out, and the mystery number is - 10.4
Answer:
the standard is that a person can read 40 to 50 pages in an hour on average.
Step-by-step explanation:
52x2 is 104, and you need 130 pages it, i say that you cant complete the homework under two hours
If it took you (one person) 3 days to build a doghouse, then it should take 2 people to build it in half the time. So all we have to do is split 3 days in 2.
3/2 = 1.5
So it would take 1 1/2 days or 36 hours for 2 people to complete the doghouse.
