Answer:
The unknown number is 90
Step-by-step explanation:
This question requires a good understanding so as to interprets it well
And always ensure that all symbols used in representation are well stated so as to help the examiner or anyone who will mark it to understand better
So back to the question,let the unknown number be x
And two thirds of the unknown number is 2/3x
2/3x was decreased by 20 which can be written as 2/3x-20
And this decrease gives 40
That's,2/3x-20=40
Then go ahead to solve the question
Start by finding the LCM and the LCM is 3
2x-60/3=40
Cross multiply
2x-60=40×3
2x-60=120
Collect like terms by adding 60 to both sides
2x=180
Divide both sides by 2
x=90
Therefore the final answer is 90
Answer:
Let the additional weight that can be added be = x
Current weight of the bag = 38 pounds
Total weight can be = 50 pounds
The equation becomes:
38+x < or equal 50
x < or equal 50-38=12
Hence, a weight of 12 pounds cab be added to the current wight.
At heart we're being asked for a line through two points,
In general the line through (a,b) and (c,d) is
Check that you understand why both (a,b) and (c,d) are on this line.
Here our indepedent variable, instead of x, is T, temperature. Our dependent variable is v, velocity. Substituting,
That's our answer; let's check it.
When T=40, v = (5/9)40 + (2995/9) = 355 good
When T=49, v= (5/9)49 + (2995/9) = 360 good
Answer:
x=-23
Step-by-step explanation:
-3.8x-5.9x=223.1
-9.7x=223.1
x=223.1/-9.7
x=-23
