Seven times a number is equal to 9 more than 4 times the number. find the number

1 answer:

5 0

Represent 'a number' by x
7 times x equals 9 more than 4 times x
7 times x=9+4 times x
7x=9+4x
subtract 4x from both sides
3x=9
divide 3
x=3

the number is 3

Answer:

$x = \frac{n}{b - {t}^{2} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

I supposed that is a "n".

Steps as below:

${t}^{2} = b - \frac{n}{x} \\ b - \frac{n}{x} = {t}^{2} \\ - \frac{n}{x} = {t}^{2} - b \\ \frac{n}{x} = - ( {t}^{2} - b) \\ \frac{n}{x} = b - {t}^{2} \\ n = x(b - {t}^{2} ) \\ x(b - {t}^{2} ) = n \\ x = \frac{n}{b - {t}^{2} }$
