4x + 20 = 6x + -10
Reorder the terms:
20 + 4x = 6x + -10
Reorder the terms:
20 + 4x = -10 + 6x
Solving
20 + 4x = -10 + 6x
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-6x' to each side of the equation.
20 + 4x + -6x = -10 + 6x + -6x
Combine like terms: 4x + -6x = -2x
20 + -2x = -10 + 6x + -6x
Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0
20 + -2x = -10 + 0
20 + -2x = -10
Add '-20' to each side of the equation.
20 + -20 + -2x = -10 + -20
Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0
0 + -2x = -10 + -20
-2x = -10 + -20
Combine like terms: -10 + -20 = -30
-2x = -30
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = 15

x = 15</span>
The answer is a. Because when word phrases say “a number”, they are referring to the variable. For instance, x is the variable so x is “a number”.

The figure can be splitted into 2 trapeziums.
Hence, 14.5 * 16 + 20 * 10 = 432.
X - y = 8
x + 2 = 3y.....x = 3y - 2
3y - 2 - y = 8
2y = 10
y = 5
x - y = 8
x - 5 = 8
x = 8 + 5
x = 13
so x = 13 and y = 5
