Let the number be x.
7x-x=42
6x=42
x=7
the number is 7
Even though we don't know the number yet, we need to give it some kind of label
so that we can work with it. We can call it anything. I'd like to call it ' G '.
The number we're looking for is ' G '.
Half of it is 1/2 G
The sum of that and 6 is 1/2 G + 6
Ten times that is 10 (1/2 G + 6)
The question says that's 8.
So 10 (1/2 G + 6) = 8
Divide each side by 10 : 1/2 G + 6 = 0.8
Subtract 6 from each side: 1/2 G = - 5.2
Multiply each side by 2 : G = - 10.4
That seems like a weird answer. We should check it.
The number: -10.4
Half the number: - 5.2
The sum of half the number and 6: -5.2 + 6 = +0.8
Ten times that sum: 8
Yep ! By golly, sho nuff, dV-dT and E to the X !
Everything checks out, and the mystery number is - 10.4
Yes it did occur it was just a very long time ago. As the earth grew and developed the countries separated and that is why they are spread all over the world now. Hope this helps.
Answer:
C and D
Step-by-step explanation:
So basically when u square -5 or +5, u get 25 either way
And since the square root of x is greater than or equal to 25, u can use both of them for answers.
