Write an equation with the solution x=20??

Art [367]

Let's just start with x=20 and then do some algebra to it to make it all complicated
x = 20
2 * x = 2 * 20
2x = 40
2x - 13 = 40 - 13
2x - 13 = 27

3. Solve the inequality –2(z + 5) + 20 > 6.

12345 [234]

$\boxed{-2\left(z+5\right)+20>6\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:z$

Solution:

Given inequality is:

$-2(z+5)+20>6$

We have to solve the given inequality

$-2\left(z+5\right)+20>6\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}20\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\-2\left(z+5\right)+20-20>6-20\\\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\\-2\left(z+5\right)>-14$

$Multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ -1\ \left(reverse\:the\:inequality\right)$

Whenever we multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number, we must flip the inequality sign

$\left(-2\left(z+5\right)\right)\left(-1\right)$

Thus the solution to inequality is:

$-2\left(z+5\right)+20>6\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:z$

Fabio and Gwen are saving money to buy a new gaming station. They need at least $510 to purchase the new gaming station. Gwen we

vaieri [72.5K]

x represents the number of lawns weeded by Gwen and y represents the number of dogs walked by Fabio.

Gwen charges $12 each time she weeds a yard and Fabio charges $9 each time he walks a dog.

So, for x number of weeds, Gwen earned 12x and for y number of dogs walked, Fabio earned 9y.

They need at least $510 to purchase the new gaming station.

Therefore,

12x + 9y ≥ 510

Also, the number of dog walks that Fabio has scheduled should not be more than twice the number of yards Gwen has scheduled to weed.

Therefore,

y ≤ 2x

Also, Fabio will walk at least 25 dogs.

Therefore,

y ≥ 25

Hence, the constraints are:

12x + 9y ≥ 510

y ≤ 2x

y ≥ 25

Answer:

The required expression is $\frac{y}{4}-3$ .

The value of the expression when y=20 is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided phase.

3 less than the quotient of a number y and 4

The quotient of a number y and 4 can be written as: $\frac{y}{4}$

Now 3 less than the quotient of a number y and 4 can be written as:

$\frac{y}{4}-3$

Hence, the required expression is $\frac{y}{4}-3$ .

Now evaluate when y=20.

Substitute y=20 in above expression.

$\frac{20}{4}-3$

$5-3$

$2$

Hence, the value of the expression when y=20 is 2.
