Answer:

The answer is y=-15

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the number, we have to express the problem into an equation. Every time that we want to know a value of a variable, we have to express an equation that it contains the variable.

Let's express every part of the statement:

Three fifths=\frac{3}{5}

A number= y

negative 9= -9

Putting together every part into an equation:

\frac{3}{5}y=-9\\y=\frac{5}{3}*(-9)\\y=5*(-3)\\y=-15

Finally, the value of the number "y" is -15.

\frac{3}{5}y=-9 \ |*5 \\\\ 3y=-45 \ |:3\\\\ y=-15
or
\frac{3}{5}y=-9 \\\\ 0,6y=-9 \ |*10\\\\ 6y=-90 \ |:6\\\\ y=-15

What is the value of x in the equation 2x+7=1
Lesechka [4]
First....we need to do inverse operation

Subtract 7 from both sides.

2x+7=1
    -7   -7

2x=-6

Now, we need to divide 2 by both sides to isolate x.

2x=-6
2x/2=-6/2
x=-3

Our final answer is that x= -3

Which equation results from taking the square root of both sides of (x - 9)2 = 81?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

x-9 = 9     x-9 = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 9)^2 = 81

Take the square root of both sides

sqrt((x - 9)^2) = ±sqrt(81)

x-9 = ±9

x-9 = 9     x-9 = -9
