Answer:

Equation:

5x - 6 = 9

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's break this down:

When six is subtracted from five times a number, the result is 9

"five times a number" simply means a variable, such as x, is being multiplied by 5

five times a number: 5x

Next step:

When six is subtracted from five times a number, the result is 9

"six is subtracted from" means 6 is being taken away from whatever comes next, in this case, '5x'

six is subtracted from: - 6

Final section:

When six is subtracted from five times a number, the result is 9

"the result is 9" means the entire equation equals nine

the result is nine: = 9

Put it all together:

5x - 6 = 9

Solve:

5x - 6 = 9

     +6  +6

5x = 15

/5     /5

x = 3

Therefore, the value of x is three.

The number 2017 can be expressed as the difference of the squares of two consecutive whole numbers. What is the sum of these two
SSSSS [86.1K]

Let x be the first number

X + 1 be the second number

So

(x+1)^2 – x^2 = 2017

X^2 + 2x +1 – x^2 = 2017

2x + 1 = 2017

2x = 2017 – 1

2x = 2016

X = 1008

X + 1 = 1009

Sum = 1008 + 1009 = 2017
