They said it was near the bridge
Let
Then
and solving for x gives
By the quadratic formula,
but x must be a positive number, so only the positive square root solution is valid.
We identify a = c = 3 and b = 2, so a + b + c = 8.
Answer:6 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
Count 2 1/3, (1+1=2 the denomanators are the same so they stay {2/3}) The first two 1/3 is a 2/3 the second two is another and so on
I dont know how to explain it lol

Answer:
The number is 48
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's call the number we are looking for n.
We can then write "two-thirds of the number" as 2/3n
We can also write "one-half of a number" as 1/2n
Finally, we are told 1/2n is the same as 2/3n −8 or: 1/2n = 23n −8
We can now solve for n: 1/2n − 2/3n = 2/3n −8 − 2/3n 1/2n − 2/3n = −8We next need to get the fractions over common denominators, in this case, 6 by multiplying each fraction by the necessary for of 1: (3/3) 1/2n − (2/2) 2/3n = −8 3/6n − 4/6n = −8 − 1/6n = −8.
We can finally solve for n by multiplying by -6 to isolate n −6 ⋅(−1/6)n = −8⋅ − 6
1n = 48
n =48
