Let unknown integer be n.
So then your sentence would translate to 3n² + n = 2.
If you need to solve for n then we can move 2 to left side by subtract both sides by 2:
3n² + n - 2 = 0
Now you can factor:
3n² + 3n -2n - 2 = 0
3n( n + 1 ) - 2( n + 1 ) = 0
( 3n - 2 )( n + 1 ) = 0
3n - 2 = 0 OR n + 1 = 0
3n = 2 OR n = -1
n = 2/3 OR n = -1
Final answer: n = 2/3 OR n = -1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the picture attached,
Addition of the blocks in first row is 60
a + a + a + 12 = 60
3a + 12 = 60
3a = 60 - 12
3a = 48
a = 16
For second row,
(b + 5) + (b + 5) + (b + 5) + (b + 5) = 60
4(b + 5) = 60
b + 5 = 15
b = 10
For third row,
(a + b) + c = (b + 5) + (b + 5) + (b + 5)
a + b + c = 3(b + 5)
16 + 10 + c = 3(10 + 5) [Since, a = 16 and b = 10}
26 + c = 45
c = 45 - 26
c = 19
For fourth row,
3c + d = 60
3(19) + d = 60
57 + d = 60
d = 60 - 57
d = 3
You combine like terms which are -10x and 7x and 1 and 37. Then it becomes -3x=36. x would equal to 36/-3, which is -12.

Answer:
31.5 or 63/2
Step-by-step explanation:
to do this, first you need to transform the <u>mixed number</u> <em>(3 1/2)</em> into an <u>improper fraction</u>, to get 7/2.
then you just multiply 9 by 7/2
9/1 (7/2)
63/2 = 31.5
<em>both of the answers in bold are correct</em>
