Answer:

Amrita's number is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

x               Double the unknown number

2x             Add 9

2x + 9       Divide the answer by 3

2/3x + 3   Subtract 1

2/3x + 2   Set this equal to the original number

2/3x + 2 = x

-2/3x       -2/3x   Subtract 2/3x from both sides

2 = 1/3x   Multiply both sides by 3

6 = x

A tower made of wooden blocks measures​ 114 feet high. Then a block is added that increases the height of the tower by 8 inches.
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

4. 23 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The tower is 1 1/4 feet high, then 8 inches are added. Well, we can't just add those two numbers. We have to change the units! Change everything to inches.

1 1/4 feet is equal to 12 inches + 3 inches = 15 inches, because a foot = 12 inches.

Add 8 inches to 15, and you get 23 inches.

<u>The answer is 4. 23 in. </u>
