Answer:

Number:3.75

Equation:7 x-9=3(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

According to the question,

7 x-9=3(x+2)

7 x-9= 3 x+ 6

7 x- 3 x= 9+6

4 x= 15

x=15/4

x=3.75

If you verify the answer you will get,

11.25=11.25

Thank you!

If time is four hours from now, the time left till midnight would be quarter that if it is one hour from now. What time is it no
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The time now is 7 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that now is the time T.

We know that:

"if time is four hours from now, the time left till midnight would be a quarter that if it is one hour from now".

Then:

if we define midnight as 12, and we assume that T is in the pm range.

Then the "time left till midnigth, assuming that the time is four hours from now" will be written as (12 - (T + 4))

With this in mind, we can write the problem as:

12 - (T + 4) = (1/4)*( 12 - (T + 1))

Now we can solve this for T.

12 - T - 4 = (1/4)*(12 - T - 1)

8 - T = (1/4)*(11 - T)

4*(8 - T) = 11 - T

32 - 4*T = 11 - T

32 - 11  = -T + 4*T

21 = 3*T

21/3 = T

7 = T

Then T = 7 pm

The time now is 7 pm
