Let the number be n

the first half (2 less than 3 lots of a number) is in brackets.
3 lots of a number is 3 x the number and 2 less than it is subtracting 2 from the product.
So 3n-2.
That whole number is doubled so the 2 is left outside the brackets so that it applies to everything inside.
2(3n-2) = 5

im not sure if you were asked to find the number but if you are then you must work in opposite operations.

First, divide both sides by 2--
3n-2 = 2.5
then add the 2 to both sides
3n = 4.5
divide both by 3 and tha'ts the answer for n but its a decimal so i doubt its asking for that

If f(x) varies directly with x and f(x) = 72 when x = 6, find the value of f(x) when x = 3.
Levart [38]

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Since f(x) varies directly with x, f(x) can be expressed alternatively as \[f(x) = k * x\] where k is a constant value.

Given that f(x) is 72 when the value of x is 6.

This implies, \[72 = k * 6\]

Simplifying and rearranging the equation to find the value of k:

k = \frac{72}{6}

Hence k = 12

Or, \[f(x) = 12 * x\]

When x = 3, \[f(x) = 12 *3 \]

Or in other words, the value of f(x) when x=3 is 36
