Three fourths a number plus 8 is 20 less than the number

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

NO ONE IS HELPING PLEASE. Find the value of x in each case! IF U GET THIS I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST. 25 POINTS ON THE LINE! Thank y
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

11  

Step-by-step explanation:  

Use corresponding angles.  

Angle FBC is 180 - 147 which is 33.  

This means x is 180 - 33 - Angle EBA.  

EBA is 180 - 4x.  

x = 180 - 33 - (180 - 4x)  

x = 180 - 33 - 180 + 4x  

-3x = 180 - 33 - 180  

-3x = -33  

3x = 33  

x = 11  

Please mark brainliest.

Find the value of c that makes t^2 - 22t+ c a perfect square trinomial.
allochka39001 [22]

The expression is a perfect square trinomial if and only if c = 121.

<h3>How to get the value of c?</h3>

A perfect square trinomial is written as:

(a + b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab

In this case, we have:

t^2 - 22t + c

We can rewrite this as:

t^2 - 2*11*t + c

Then we have:

a = t

b = -11

And we will have that:

c = b^2 = (-11)^2 = 121

Then we have:

t^2 - 2*11*t + 121

Which is a perfect square trinomial:

(t - 11)^2 = t^2 - 22t + 121
