3 times the sum of 6 and a number is 33

Mathematics

Citrus2011 [14]3 years ago

6 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number in question be 'n'. Then twice the sum of the number and 3 is written as:

2(n + 3)

Three times the difference of the number and 9 is written as:

3(n - 9)

The problem says these two are equal, so:

2(n + 3) = 3(n - 9)

2n + 6 = 3n - 27

Add 27 to both sides:

2n + 33 = 3n

Subtract 2n from both sides:

33 = n (the number is 33)

The number of males in the classroom is three more than twice the number of females. Of the total number of students is 57, how

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the number of males in the classroom is three more than twice the number of females.

the total number of students is 57

Let x be the no of males then no of females = $57-x$

Also we have 3 more than twice no of females as

$2(57-x)+3$

This equals x

$2(57-x)+3=x\\114-2x+3=x\\3x=117\\x=39$

No of males = 39, no of females = 18

Drag a statement or reason to each box to complete this proof.

kotykmax [81]

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute the -2 to (x+1) you end up with -2x-2=8 (multiplication property). Add 2 to both sides to get rid of the -2 of the left (addition property). 8+2=10. -2x=10 divide the -2 to both sides. x=-5 (division property).

What is the value of x

pochemuha

This is the isosceles triangle. Therefore, the angles at the base are congruent.

We know that the sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle is 180°.

Therefore we have the equation:

$38^o+x^o+x^o=180^o$

$38^o+2x^o=180^o$ <em>subtract 38 from both sides</em>

$2x^o=142^o$ <em>divide both sides by 2</em>

$x^2=71^o$

<h3>Answer: x = 71.</h3>

How much simple interest is earned on $4,000 in 3 1/2 years at an interest rate of 5.2%?

AveGali [126]

Answer:

$728

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for simple interest is I = PRT, where I = interest earned/paid, P = principal amount deposited or borrowed, R = rate of interest as a decimal, and T = time in years.

I = PRT

I = (4000)(0.052)(3.5)

I = 728
