The unknown number is n. So n is the unknown variable in the equation.
In order to write an equation in which n is included we must know some dependence of n with other values.
We know that <span>the difference of three times a number and 44 is −19. So, we can write:
3*n-44=-19
3*n=-19+44
3*n=25
n=25/3

I hope I am reading the problem right: The price of a mountain bike increased by 20% in the past year. The value is $150. What was the value of the mountain bike last year?
Let's simplify this. One year, there was this radical mountain bike that used to have an unsaid price, <em>x. </em>That year, that price of x increased by 20% more than it was before, or <em>120% times the original value</em>. Because of that, it's now $150.
We can equation this.
1.20x = 150
x = 150/1.2
x = 125
The bike, I believe, cost $125 last year. Hope this helps!
Hi there! :)
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
<u><em>x=23</em></u>
<u><em>*The answer must have a positive sign.*</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
This lesson it's about addition property of equality.
First, you add by 8 from both sides of an equation.
And then, you add by the numbers. Simplify and solve.
Final answer: → 
Hope this helps!
Thanks!

If the length of a rectangle is 3m longer than its width, then:
L=W+3
Is the area really 154^2? Or is it 154m^2? If yes, then:
A=LW
154=(W+3)(W)
154=(W^2+3W)
0=W^2+3W-154
0=(W-11)(W+14)
This means either (W-11) or (W+14) is equal to zero so:
W=11 and W=-14
To find out let's substitute the numbers:
154=(11+3)(11)
154=154
Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 11m
Answer:
d = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
15 = d-1
Add 1 to each side
15 +1 =d-1+1
16 =d
