Answer:

Equation:  \frac{3}{4}n+8=n-20

Solve for n:  n = 112

Step-by-step explanation:

To first set up the equation, you need to look at the verbal description and translate into numbers and operations:

'three fourths a number' =  \frac{3}{4} n

'plus 8' = + 8

'is' =

'20 less' = - 20

'the number' = n

Put the expressions together:

'three fourths a number plus 8':  \frac{3}{4}n+8

'20 less than the number': n - 20

Set them equal to each other and solve: \frac{3}{4}n+8=n-20

Add 20 to both sides: \frac{3}{4}n+8+20=n-20+20

Subtract \frac{3}{4}n from both sides: \frac{3}{4}n-\frac{3}{4}n+28=n-\frac{3}{4}n

Multiply both sides by \frac{4}{1}: \frac{4}{1}28=\frac{1}{4}n\frac{4}{1}

Solve for n:  n = 112

Reptile [31]
The simplest (and most commonly used) area calculations are for squares and rectangles. To find the areaof a rectangle multiply its height by its width. For a square you only need to find the length of one of the sides (as each side is the same length) and then multiply this by itself tofind the area.

Answer:

\dfrac{5x + 1}{6(x - 2)}

\dfrac{5x + 1}{6x - 12}

Step-by-step explanation:

Fatorizam-se os denominadores.

2x - 4 = 2(x - 2)

3x - 6 = 3(x - 2)

O minimo multiplo comum dos denominadores e

2(3)(x - 2)

\dfrac{x + 1}{2x - 4} + \dfrac{x - 1}{3x - 6} =

= \dfrac{3(x + 1)}{2(3)(x - 2)} + \dfrac{2(x - 1)}{2(3)(x - 2)}

= \dfrac{3(x + 1) + 2(x - 1)}{6(x - 2)}

= \dfrac{3x + 3 + 2x - 2)}{6(x - 2)}

= \dfrac{5x + 1}{6(x - 2)}

= \dfrac{5x + 1}{6x - 12}
