4x + 8.....the factor is 4
4(x + 2)
16 because two negatives numbers equal a possitive so 16
If 39 = (1 3/10)b, we could simplify this by writing 39 - (13/10)b.
Solve this for b by mult. both terms by (10/13):
(10*39)
----------- = (10/13)(13/10)b. Then b = 30 (answer)
13
Answer:
<u>150</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let :
⇒ The numbers can be denoted as <u>x</u>, <u>3x</u>, and <u>5x</u>
<u />
=============================================================
Solving :
⇒ It mentions their sum is 270
⇒ x + 3x + 5x = 270
⇒ 9x = 270
⇒ x = 30
=============================================================
Largest number :
⇒ 5x
⇒ 5(30)
⇒ <u>150</u>
Start with the parentheses
