Answer:
The unknown number is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's make the unknown number x.
The sum of 5 TIMES a number (x) & 8 is 9.
Let's write it mathematically.
5x + 8 =9
We are trying to find the unknown number, so let's remove all the numbers from the left side to find x. Minus 8.
5x=1
5x is basically 5 times x, so to find x, we need to divide and from there we can remove 5.
x= 
To find how much of 5/8 is you would need to divide 1/2 by 5/8:
X = (1/2) / (5/8)
When dividing fractions, you reverse the second fraction and multiply:
X = (1/2) x (8/5)
X = 8/10
Simplify:
X = 4/5
The answer is 8 gram/cm^3
Hope this helps
If point A is the midpoint then that means line segments XA and AY are equivalent so you can set:
3x=5x-6
(now you solve for x)
2x=6
(divide by 2 on both sides)
x=3
So BASICALLY,
XA= 3x= 3(3) = 9
AY= 5x-6= 5(3)-6 =9
So now you know the length of both sides, add those together and you get
XY=18
