The quotient of two less than a number and five is eight

Mathematics
1 answer:
postnew [5]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The number is 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the unknown number.

"two less than a number" is x - 2

Quotient means the result of a division.

(x - 2)/5 = 8

Multiply both sides by 5.

x - 2 = 40

Add 2 to both sides.

x = 42

Answer: The number is 42.

Check.

Start with 42. 2 less than 42 is 40. The quotient of 40 and 5 is 40/5 which is 8. The answer is correct.

pentagon [3]

Answer:

∠ 6 = 45°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ 6 and ∠ 7 are alternate angles and are congruent, thus

4x - 15 = x + 30 ( subtract x from both sides )

3x - 15 = 30 ( add 15 to both sides )

3x = 45 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 15

Thus

∠ 6 = 4x - 15 = 4(15) - 15 = 60 - 15 = 45°
