Answer:
The number is 42.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the unknown number.
"two less than a number" is x - 2
Quotient means the result of a division.
(x - 2)/5 = 8
Multiply both sides by 5.
x - 2 = 40
Add 2 to both sides.
x = 42
Answer: The number is 42.
Check.
Start with 42. 2 less than 42 is 40. The quotient of 40 and 5 is 40/5 which is 8. The answer is correct.

The formula of an area of a trapezoid is:
- bases
- height
We have:
Substitute:
<em>divide both sides by 8</em>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
sin x = opp/hyp
sin(52) = 18/z
z = 18/sin(52)
z = 22.84
Answer:
5.0/5. 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
150 is smaller than 200 so 25 is smaller than 40, but 25, in perspective to the numbers, is much smaller than 40. Ana is faster.
Check:
Takashi: 200 divided by 400 equals 5 yd/sec
Ana: 150 divided by 25 equals 6 yd/sec
