Answer:
The number is 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n be the number. We can set up an equation:
2(n+20)=5n-2
Distribute the left side
2n+40=5n-2
Move like terms to one side. Note that the sign flips when we move a term from one side to the other.
40+2=5n-2n
42=3n
Divide both sides by 3
n=14
Answer:
(x + 1/2)^2 = 289/4
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2+x-72=0
Write like this:
(x + ___)^2 = ___
put 72 on other side
x^2 + x = 72
x^ + x + (1/4) = 72 + (1/4)
(x + 1/2)^2 = 289/4
x + (1/2) = 17/2

Answer:
4*5*7=140 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
First he has to decide on a pair of pants and he has 4 different choices.
For each of those choices he has a choice of 7 different shirts, so that gives him 4 times 7 = 28 different pant/shirt combinations. (I hope none of the pants are striped and none of the shirts have polka-dots).
For each those 28 possibilities, he has 5 different ties he could select, so altogether he has 28 times 5 = 140 different outfits, and some of them may be acceptable to wear in public.
It is simply , 4*5*7=140 ways.
