Answer:

the number is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps you'd like to find the number.

If n represents the number, we can write the relationship as ...

3n -1 = n +5

Adding 1-n to both sides gives ...

2n = 6

n = 3 . . . . divide by 2

The number is 3.

_____

<em>Check</em>

The product of the number and 3 is 9. One less is 8. That is 5 more than the number itself: 8 = 3 + 5.

Expplanation and Answer:

y=mx−7

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

mx−7=y

Add 7 to both sides.

mx=y+7

Divide both sides by m.

y+7

Dividing by m undoes the multiplication by m.

What is the radius of a sphere if its surface area is 2,122.64 square inches? (Use 3.14 for .)

Lady_Fox [76]

$\bf \textit{surface area of a sphere}\\\\
SA=4\pi r^2~~
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
------\\
SA=2122.64
\end{cases}\implies 2122.64=4\pi r^2
\\\\\\
\cfrac{2122.64}{4\pi }=r^2\implies \cfrac{530.66}{\pi }=r^2\implies \sqrt{\cfrac{530.66}{\pi }}=r$
