Four more than three times n equals -5

1 answer:

5 0

3n+4=-5

do the opposite of adding 4. this means you have to subtract 4 from 4. whatever you do to the problem, you must do to the answer. now subtract 4 from -5.

-5-4=-9

since 4-4=0, we can take 4 out of the equation. now you have:

3n=-9

now divide -9 by 3

-9/3=-3

n=-3

hope this helps :)

A 2-digit number with x units and 7 less units than tens.

Hatshy [7]

Each two digit number has two numbers (duh!). Let's allow the tens digit to be x and the units digit to be y. Tens digit is 3 less than the units digit: x = y-3 Original number is 6 more than 4 times the sum of the digits: 10x+y-6 = 4x + 4y This gives us simultaneous equations!First let's clear the mess: 1. x= y-32. 6x-3y=6 Substitute 1 into 2: 6(y-3) -3y =66y - 18 - 3y = 6
3y = 24y = 8 Our units digit is 8 Substitute y= 8 into 1. x = y - 3x = 5 Our tens digit is 5 Therefore, our number is 58

5/6 is not the definite ratio, when you take a larger sample size it could be off by a bit like 499/600 or 501/600
