The difference of a number and 6 is the same as 5 times the sum of the number and 2

Mathematics

Answer:

n - 6 = 5 * ( n + 2 ) ; n = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we will use the words to create an equation.  The left hand side of the equation will be the difference of a number and 6 and the right hand side of the equation will be 5 times the sum of the number and 2.  Hence, we can build the equation:

n - 6 = 5 * ( n + 2 )

If we wanted, we can solve the equation for the number, n.

n - 6 = 5 * ( n + 2 )

n - 6 = 5 * n + 5 * 2

n - 6 = 5n + 10

-16 = 4n

-4 = n

Thus, we have found the missing number to be negative four.

Cheers.

−−→ LO bisects ∠ NLM , LM = 18 , NO = 4 , and LN = 10 . LO → bisects ∠ NLM , LM = 18 , NO = 4 , and LN = 10 . What is the value
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in triangle LMN, LO is angle bisector of angle L.

LN =10 and LM =18

By angle bisector theorem for triangles we have

LN/LM = NO/MO

Substitute the values for known things and x for MO

We get

10/18 = 4/x

Or cross multiply to get

10x=72

x=7.2

So answer is 7.2
