Find use the distributive property and bring down the ending result (21)
-3x-6=21

Next, add 6 on both sides and you should get:
-3x = 27

The last step is, you divide -3 from 27 and you end up with 9. So, the total answer is x = 9

One number is 28 less than another number. If the sum of the two numbers is 92, find the two numbers.
kiruha [24]

Answer:

The two numbers are <em>32</em> and <em>60</em>.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create two simultaneous equations to solve this problem using the information given in the question.

Let number 1 = x

Let number 1 = y

x = y - 28 -> ( 1 )

x + y = 92 -> ( 2 )

We can solve simultaneous equations using substitution or elimination. For this question, we will use substitution as it is the easier option.

Substitute ( 1 ) into ( 2 ):

x + y = 92 -> ( 2 )

( y - 28 ) + y = 92

2y - 28 = 92

2y = 120

y = 120 / 2

y = 60 -> ( 3 )

Substitute ( 3 ) into ( 1 ):

x = y - 28 -> ( 1 )

x = ( 60 ) - 28

x = 32

Therefore:

x = 32 , y = 60

A spring supporting a mass of 30 kg compresses 0.6 m. how far does the spring compress when it supports a mass of 10 kg? 0.1 m 0
Nana76 [90]

The spring .2m far when it is compressed on being supported by a mass of 10kg.

Given: Mass of 30 kg which compresses spring by 0.6m

To find: The compression of the spring when it is supported by a mass of 10 kg

Concept: Compression springs are coiled springs that hold mechanical energy in a compressed state. When these springs are subjected to compressive loads, they compress and shorten, capturing and storing significant potential force.

The unitary method is a technique for solving a problem by first finding the value of a single unit, and then finding the necessary value by multiplying the single unit value.

By using unitary method,

10 is 3 times less than 30.

so, 30/3=10

Also applying the same proportion over the lengths compressed,

we get, 0.6/3=.2

John drove 255 miles using 10 gallons of gas. At this rate, how many gallons of gas would he need to drive 411 miles?
Inessa [10]

Answer:

19.6 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

225/10=441/G

cross multiply

225G=10*441

225G=4410

G=4410/225
