Let the number be x.
x/3 + 12 = 46
Subtract 12 from both sides and you will get:
x/3 = 34
Multiply both sides by 3:
x = 102

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The relevant rule of exponents is ...
(a^b·c^d)^e = a^(be)·c^(de)
Then ...
(m^(5/4)·n^(-4/5))^(7/3) = m^(5/4·7/3)·n^(-4/5·7/3)
= m^(35/12)·n^(-28/15)
__
Since you want positive rational exponents, you can write this as ...
= m^(35/12)/n^(28/15)
-103
if he lost the same weight each week that means -412 (the weight he lost) ÷ 4 (number of weeks) = -103 (amount of weight lost in one week)
