"Twice the sum of a number is 9 is equal to three times the difference of the number and 7" is our problem. Let's translate it into an equation.

Twice                                      2 times

the sum of a number           x +

and 9                                    9

is equal to                              =

three times                           3 times

the difference of a number x-

and 7                                      7


We move top down on the right side and make the equation. Then we solve it for x

2x + 9 = 3x - 7                           our equation

-x + 9 = -7                                    subtract 3x on both sides

-x = -16                                      subtract 16 on both sides

x = 16                                         divide both sides by -1


Thus the mystery number is 16.

First, write put the information into an equation

2*(x+9) = 3*(x-7)

distribute the 2 and 3
2x + 18 = 3x - 21

Combine like terms (Xs and munbers) (in this case, it's easier to add 15 to both sides and subtract 2x from both sides so both sides end up being positive)
33 = x

x=33

Tanya [424]

Answer:

Sampling is necessary because researchers in the social sciences almost never have enough resources — time or money — to collect information about the entire set of subjects of interest to them.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sampling is done because you usually cannot gather data from the entire population. Even in relatively small populations, the data may be needed urgently, and including everyone in the population in your data collection may take too long.

On Earth, objects weigh 6 times what
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

16 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

As you said, objects weigh 6 times more than what they weigh on the moon. Therefore, the robot originally weighing 96 pounds will be reduced to 16 pounds.

16*6=96. (Original Weight)

96/6=16. (Weight after being on the moon.)
