Answer: the number is - 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be represented by x.

If the sum of a number and seven is doubled, the result is four less than the number. The expression would be

2(x + 7) = x - 4

We would open the bracket on the left hand side of the equation by multiplying each term inside the bracket by 2. It becomes

2x + 14 = x - 4

Subtracting 14 and x from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

2x + 14 - 14 - x =x - x - 4 - 14

x = - 18

Answer:

-18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

Double the sum of number and seven is equal to four less than the number.

Expressing it in equation form:

\[2*(x+7)=x-4\]


Simplifying the equation,

\[=> 2x+14=x-4\]


Collecting all terms containing x on one side,

\[=> 2x-x=-14-4\]


\[=> (2-1)x=-18\]


\[=> x=-18\]


Hence the required number is -18

Lynna [10]

Answer:

11 6/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Daniel works in a market

He has large bags of potatoes that weighs 26 1/4

Daniel is going to sell them in smaller bags 9/4 pounds each

Therefore the number of smaller bags of potatoes in which Daniel would have filled can be calculated as follows

= 26 1/4 ÷ 9/4

= 105/4 ÷ 9/4

= 105/4 × 4/9

= 105/9

= 11 6/9

What is 1/2 of 2 3/4?
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

1 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, change the mixed fraction to improper fraction.

2 3/4 = 8/4 + 3/4 = 11/4

1/2 of 11/4 = (11/4)(1/2) = 11/8

11/4 - 11/8 = 22/8 - 11/8 = 11/8

11/8, or 1 3/8 is your answer.

How do i do this? Explain the answer and how it is done.
zzz [600]

Answer:

4/9ths of a cup of sugar is needed for one cup of flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this you need to scale the number of cups of flour up from 3/4 to 1  that ratio would be 4/3 (multiplying a fraction by its own reciprocal will give you 1).

We can then simply take that ratio, and scale the sugar by the same amount:

1/3 * 4/3 = 4/9
