X - the number

$x+12=3x-32 \\
x-3x=-32-12 \\
-2x=-44 \\
x=\frac{-44}{-2} \\
x=22$

The number is 22.

Let the number = x
12 + x = 3x - 32
x = 3x - 44 Subtract 12 from both sides
-2x = -44 Subtract 3x from both sides
<span>x = 22 Divide by -2

SO THE ANSWER IS 22. HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!!!</span>

Is it possible for a triangle to have sides with the given lengths: 20 m, 22 m, and 24 m? A. Yes; the sum of each pair is greate

snow_lady [41]

The correct answer is A) yes, the sum of each pair is greater than the third.

The triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of any two sides of a triangle is longer than the third side. This is true for these numbers, so this does form a triangle.

The equation for line E is x = 8.
This is because the line intersects the x-axis at the point (8,0)

ii. A machine is sold for 7,000/-. The gross loss is 20% of the cost. What are the cost and gross loss?

aleksley [76]

Given:

Selling price of a machine = 7000/-

Gross loss = 20%.

To find:

The cost and gross loss.

Solution:

Let x be the cost of machine.

According to the question,

$x-20\%\text{ of }x=7000$

$x-\dfrac{20}{100}x=7000$

$x-0.2x=7000$

$0.8x=7000$

Divide both sides by 0.8.

$x=\dfrac{7000}{0.8}$

$x=8750$

So, the cost of the machine is 8750/-.

Now,

$\text{Gross Loss}=\text{Cost}-\text{Selling price}$

$\text{Gross Loss}=8750-7000$

$\text{Gross Loss}=1750$

Therefore, the gross loss is 1750/-.
