x+142 =3x+64

subtract x from each side

142 = 2x+64

subtract 64 from each side

142-64 = 2x

78=2x

divide by 2

78/2 = x

x=39

The number is 39

n-the\ number\\\\n+142=64\cdot3n\\\\n+142=192n\qquad\text{subtract n from both sides}\\\\142=191n\qquad\text{divide both sides by 191}\\\\\dfrac{142}{191}=n\to \boxed{n=\dfrac{142}{191}}


n+142=3n+64\qquad\text{subtract 142 from both sides}\\\\n=3n-78\qquad\text{subtract 3n from both sides}\\\\-2n=-78\qquad\text{divide both sides ny (-2)}\\\\\boxed{n=39}

What is the sign of f on the interval -2
TEA [102]

Answer:

f is sometimes positive and sometimes negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=(x-3)(x+2)(x+4)(x+4)(x-1)(2x-9)

Take x=-1\in(-2,\frac{9}{2})\ as-2

f(-1)=(-1-3)(-1+2)(-1+4)(-1-1)(-2-9)\\\\=(-4)(1)(3)(-2)(-11)\\\\=-264\\\\f(-1)

Take x=2\in(-2,\frac{9}{2})\ as\ -2

f(2)=(2,-3)(2+2)(2+4)(2-1)(2\times2-9)\\\\=(-1)(4)(6)(1)(-5)\\\\=120\\\\f(2)>0

Hence f(x) for x=-1 and f(x)>0 for x=2

So f is sometimes positive and sometimes negative in the interval.
