Let n represent the number.
-13×(n -60) = n +(-59)
-13n +780 = n -59
839 = 14n
839/14 = n = 59 13/14
The number is 59 13/14.
_____
Check
The difference between the number and 60 is
59 13/14 -60 = -1/14
-13 times that value is
-13*(-1/14) = 13/14
Compare that to the number plus -59
59 13/14 -59 = 13/14 . . . . . the same value, as required.
100. When rounding to the hundreds place, you must consider the value of the digit in the tens place. If the digit in the tens place is 5 or greater, the digit in the hundreds place increases by 1. If the digit in the tens place is 4 or less the digit in the hundreds place remains the same. In this case, the number in the hundreds place was originally zero.
Answer: w = -3u/2 + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
-12u + 13 = 8w - 3
-12u + 13 + 3 = 8w -3 + 3
-12u + 16 = 8w
w = -3u/2 + 2
