A number decreased by 12 is 24.
(by looking at your question, we can see that 'decreased by 12' =  subtract (-) 12)

We can write this as the equation n - 12 = 24, in which n = the number.

Now let's solve for n by using algebraic properties.

        n - 12 = 24
n - 12 + 12 = 24 + 12   (add 12 to both sides to isolate n)
               n = 24 + 12   (the -12 and +12 cancel to 0 on the left side)
               n = 36           (simplify, add 24 and 12)

Therefore the number is 36.

How would you write 87 as a Roman numeral?
ddd [48]

Answer:

LXXXVII

Step-by-step explanation:

L=50 X=10 V=5 I=1

So basically you need to figure out what adds up to the 87. so use L, or 50. now XXX=30. so now you have 80 so we still have 7 left over, so we can write 7 I's or a 5, (V) and two I's. We should use the V and the I. So we take one V, or 5. and two I's which together is 7. which leads us too LXXXVII. also always remember to have the biggest number first, in this case the L (50).

Answer:

30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Interesting question.

  • 1 cubit = 18 inches
  • 20 cubits = x
  • 1/20 = 18/x       Cross multiply
  • x = 20 * 18
  • x = 360 inches.

The maximum height is 360 inches.

  • 1 foot = 12 inches
  • x feet = 360 inches   Cross multiply
  • 12x = 360 * 1
  • 12x/12 = 360/12
  • x = 30

The maximum height reached was 30 feet.

Where does the section of the bridge meet ground level? Solve 0 = -x2 + 10x - 8
djverab [1.8K]
In can be less mental effort if the equation is multiplied by -1 first.
.. x^2 -10x +8 = 0
.. x^2 -10x +25 +8 -25 = 0
.. (x -5)^2 = 17
.. x -5 = ±√17
.. x = 5 ±√17

The values of x that satisfy the given equation are
.. x = 5 -√17 ≈ 0.877
.. x = 5 +√17 ≈ 9.123
