Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number. The problem statement tells you ...
2/3(3x +6) = 10
2x +4 = 10 . . . . . . use the distributive property
x +2 = 5 . . . . . . . . divide by 2
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 3
The number is 3.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
The above shows an "alternative" solution method. The more usual way this might be done is ...
2(3x +6) = 30 . . . . . multiply by 3 to clear fractions
6x +12 = 30 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
6x = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
Answer:
g=7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3g=45
divide both sides by 2/3
g=7.5
or
g=7 1/2
The inequality negative 3 and one-half greater-than negative 4.5 or -3.5 > -4.5 is true.
<h3>What is inequality?</h3>
It is defined as the expression in mathematics in which both sides are not equal they have mathematical signs either less than or greater than known as inequality.
We have inequalities given:
or
1.5 > 2.5 (false)
1/2 > 0.5
0.5 > 0.5 (false)
-2.5 > -1.5 (false)
-3.5 > -4.5 (true)
Thus, the inequality negative 3 and one-half greater-than negative 4.5 or -3.5 > -4.5 is true.

Answer:
D. y=2x(4×2)
Step-by-step explanation:
y=8 and x=4 and they are asking about the books that Maggie read how they the books re equal to the ones Rahul read. so y will be equal to x times 2 which is also x+x.
Hope I helped!
X = larger number, y = smaller number
x = 5y
x - y = 36
5y - y = 36
4y = 36
y = 36/4
y = 9
x = 5y
x = 5(9)
x = 45
ur numbers are 45 and 9 <==
