Four multiplied by the sum of 8 and a number is the same as 59 more than the number. find the number.

1 answer:

5 0

The sum of 8 and a number is 8 + x. Now multiply that by 4 to get 4(8 + x). The word "is the same as" means "equals" 59 more than the number, which means we add 59 to the unknown we have called x. So our equation now looks something like this (exactly like this, actually): 4(8 + x) = x + 59. Simplifying a bit gives us 32 + 4x = x + 59. 3x = 27 and x = 9. The number is 9!

Hi there, hope you are having a great day! :)

<em /> $\bigstar\star\star\sf{What\:is\:the\:Distributive\:Property?}$

The Distributive Property is a property which states that

$\longmapsto\sf{a(b+c)=ab+ac$

Now, let's apply this property:

$\longmapsto\sf{0.1(2x+3)$

$\longmapsto\sf{0.2x+0.3}$ (Answer)

Hope you find it helpful.

I need help on 1 and 2 I’m very confused

1a. Split the larger piece(1/3) into half to show the two pieces
1b. Both are 3/6 or 1/2
2a. It shows 1/2 +1/4
2b.cut it so there are 3 1/4 pieces, so cut the 1/2 piece horizontally in the middle
2c. 2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4. 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4
