Answer:

Option A. 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be T

The difference between the number and 6 is written as: T — 6

4 times the number is written as: 4T

But we were told from the question, that 8 times the difference between the number and 6 is equal to 4 times the number. This is written as:

8(T — 6) = 4T

Clear the bracket

8T — 48 = 4T

Collect like terms

8T — 4T = 48

4T = 48

Divide both side by the coefficient of T i.e 4

T = 48/4

T = 12

Therefore the number is 12

The area of a square floor on a scale drawing is 100 sq cm, and the scale of the drawing is 1cm:2ft. What is the area of the act
likoan [24]
Square root of 100 = 10 cm. Next, 10*2 = 20^2 = 400 ft. Next, convert cm into ft, which would make 100 into about 3.3 ft. The ratio would then be about 3/400. Does that help?

How can you solve this system of equations using substitution? <br> -66x-2z=-196<br> 8x+2z=22
Scrat [10]
In the second equation:

Subtract 8x from both sides.

2z = 22 - 8x

Divide 2 on both sides.

z = 11 - 4x

Plug this into the first equation.

-66 - 2(11 - 4x) = -196

-66 - 22 + 8x = -196

Combine like terms.

-88 + 8x = -196

Add 88 to both sides.

8x = -108

Divide 8 on both sides.

x = -13.5

Put this into the second equation.

8(-13.5) + 2z = 22

-108 + 2z = 22

Add 108 to both sides.

2z = 130

Divide 2 on both sides.

z = 65

and

x = -13.5

Hope this helps!
