Five times the result of adding one to a certain number, is equal to four times the number, plus three. Find the number

Answer:

The number is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x

Given that:

Five times the result of adding one to a certain number, is equal to four times the number, plus three.

The equation will be:

5(x+1) = 4x +3

Simplifying

5x + 5 = 4x +3

Taking terms with x on left side and others on right side

5x - 4x = 3 - 5   (sign of transferred terms will be changed)

x = -2

Proof :

Condition 1:

  • number = -2                                  
  • Add one = -2 +1 = -1
  • Multiply 5 = -5

Condition 2:

  • 4 times  of number = 4 (-2) = -8
  • Add 3 = -8 +3 = -5

Hence both conditions have same answer.

I hope it will help you!

kap26 [50]

Answer:

The estimated impact of the experiment of offering test preparation classes is:

= 8 scores (in performance improvement).

Step-by-step explanation:

Average standardized-test score for the first 10 high schools = 69

Average standardized-test score for the second 10 high schools = 70

After 6 months:

Average standardized-test score for the first 10 high schools offered test preparation classes = 78

The change in the average standardized-test score for the first 10 high schools = 9 (78 - 69)

Average standardized-test score for the second 10 high schools not offered test preparation classes = 71

The change in the average standardized-test score for the second 10 high schools not offered the prep = 1 (71 - 70)

The estimated impact of the experiment of offering test preparation classes is:

= 9 - 1  

= 8.

What are the solutions to x2−10x=39? Question 4 options: 3 and -13 1 and -39 -1 and 39 -3 and 13
aliina [53]

Answer:

x=-3,13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: x^2-10x=39

To find: solutions of the given equation

Solution:

x^2-10x=39\\x^2-10x-39=0

Write -10=-13+3

Therefore,

x^2-13x+3x-39=0\\x(x-13)+3(x-13)=0\\(x+3)(x-13)=0\\x=-3,13

So, solutions of the given equation are -3 and 13.
