Let the number be x,
(1/2)x=1+(1/3)x
Solving for x,
(1/2)x-(1/3)x=1+(1/3)x-(1/3)x
(1/2)x-(1/3)x=1
(1*3/6)x-(1*2/6)x=1
(3/6)x-(2/6)x=1
(1/6)x=1
6*(1/6)x=6*1
Therefore, x=6

(1/2)x = (1/3)x +1
-(1/3)x -(1/3)x

(1/6)x=1
*6 *6
x=6

And so x=6, or your number is 6

Answer:

$y=3x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$m=10-1/5-2$

$m=9/3$

$m=3$

$y=3x+b$

$x=2, y=1$

$1=3(2)+b$

$1=6+b$

$-5=b$

$y=3x-5$

If s(x) = x – 7 and t(x) = 4x2 – x + 3, which expression is equivalent to

Vlada [557]

The answer is If you would like to find the expression that is equivalent to (t*s)(x), you can calculate this using the following steps:

s(x) = x - 7
t(x) = 4x^2 - x + 3

(t*s)(x) = t(s(x)) = t(x - 7) = <span>4(x - 7)^2 - (x - 7) + 3 = 4(x - 7)^2 - x + 7 + 3

The correct result would be </span>4(x – 7)2 – (x – 7) + 3.

Maurinko [17]

The answer is C

If you divide 8 by 200 it becomes 0.04 which is 4/100 in fraction form. If you simplify it then become 1/25.
