Five less than twice a number is equal to 57

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sliva [168]4 years ago

The easiest way to do this is to break it down and translate it before solving. Start with twice a number, if you use n to represent eh number, you will have 2n. Then, add the 'less than' part. 'Five less than' means that five is being subtracted from the next part, which is 2n. Now you have 2n - 5. The last translation is simple, 'equal to 57' will complete the equation as 2n - 5 = 57.
If you want to solve the equation, use the Order of Operations.

2n - 5 = 57    Add 5 to both sides
     2n = 62    Divide both sides by 2
       n = 31

Is o.123 rational or irrational
Allushta [10]

The definition of a rational number is:
Any number that can be made by building a fraction
using whole numbers.

You can make  0.123  that way.  Here's the fraction:   123/1000


It's also handy to know that any number that's completely
written down using digits ... and a fraction bar or a decimal
point if they're needed ... is a rational number.  This is not a
definition, and it doesn't cover all rational numbers, but it's
handy sometimes.

It's also handy to know that a decimal that has a set of digits
after the decimal point that repeats forever is a rational number,
even though you can't completely write it down (because it never
ends).

How do you solve this math problem 9x + 3y =3
enot [183]

Answer:

y=1+-2 then simplify

Step-by-step explanation:

9x+3y=3

first dicide so

\frac{9x}{3}  +  \frac{3y}{3}  =  \frac{3}{3}

2x+y=1

now move 2x to other side

so it would turn negative

put in point slope form-y=mx+b

y=1+-2×
