\frac{2/3x+20}{2} =\frac{2}{3} x+3\\\frac{2/3x+20}{2} - 3 = \frac{2}{3}x\\\frac{2/3x+20}{2} - \frac{6}{2} = \frac{2}{3}x\\\frac{2/3x+20-6}{2} = \frac{2}{3}x\\\frac{2/3x+14}{2} = \frac{2}{3}x\\2(\frac{2/3x+14}{2}) = 2(\frac{2}{3}x)\\2/3x+14=\frac{4}{3}x\\14=\frac{4}{3}x-\frac{2}{3}x\\14=\frac{2}{3}x\\\frac{14}{1}/\frac{2}{3}=x\\\frac{14}{1}*\frac{3}{2}=x\\7*3=x\\x=21

The number is 21.

Answer:

AB would be 18 or the first choice.

Since BD is the median that means from A to D and from D to C are equal. We set this up as an equation and solve it.

<em>x + 8 = 2x - 17</em>

<em>   </em><em><u>+ 17       +17</u></em>

<em>x + 25 = 2x</em>

<em><u>-x            -x</u></em>

<em>     25 = x</em>

This gives us our first bit of the answer. Then we plug this into our equation for the length of AB to get 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps. . . <3

good luck!      uωu

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

using the rule of exponents

(\frac{a}{b}) ^{-1} = \frac{b}{a} , then

\frac{123}{321} × \frac{456}{654} × \frac{789}{987} × \frac{321}{123} × \frac{654}{456} × \frac{987}{789}

[ \frac{123}{321} × \frac{321}{123} = 1 , \frac{456}{654} × \frac{654}{456} = 1 , \frac{789}{987} × \frac{987}{789} = 1 ]

= 1 × 1 × 1

= 1

LenKa [72]
A suitable equation will equate the quantity of detergent both before and after the water is added to the solution.

the amount of detergent in 11 gal of 18% solution is the same as the amount of detergent in the 12% solution (after g gallons of water are added)
  .18*11 = .12*(11+g)
