"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

ASAP PLS!!!!!! LOGISTICS MODEL STUDY GUIDE!!!! 40 POINTS
Monica [59]

This all depends on the content you are studying, and what learning style works for you. One thing that works for most people is repetition. Although it sucks, it works because that’s how our brains are wired. Tell yourself, “I will not stop studying until I understand this concept or calculation,” for example. Then take a break once you are comfortable with it. Repeat again as needed. Start studying early and only study what you don't know. Try to be as consistent as possible. Good luck!

David received a 20% tip on a bill of $86.40. how much was his tip?
choli [55]

To find the tip of the bill. You will need to find how much of $86.40 is 20%. In this question, they're asking how much is the tip, not how much will the final price be.

When you multiply a percentage you move the decimal point 2 times to the left: 20. → .20

You would multiply $86.40 by .20

When you solve it 86.40 × .20 = 17.28

$17.28 is 20% of $86.40

$17.28 will be the amount he got for his tip.
