Bob had 20 apples, if he gave away 14 how many would he have left?

2 answers:

8 0

If you take just the number information in this question you will get 20 - 14. To answer this you subtract 14 from 20, you could also do 20-15=5 then add 1 to that to get 6.

I hope this answer helps :)

6, Bob will have 6 apples after he gives 14 away.

To solve this problem, we must first understand what it is asking. Since Bob is giving away apples, he is subtracting them from his total amount. So, now we do the subtraction.

20 - 14 = 6, so Bob will have 6 apples after he gives 14 away.

The product of 2 more than a number and 10 is 36 more than 8 times the number. What is the number?

kati45 [8]

Here's my step-by-step explanation:

Whenever you see the phrase "a number" in a problem like this, then they want you to use a variable. Let's use n for number and translate from English to Algebraic.

- The product of 2 more than a number and 10 is 36 more than 8 times the number.

- The product of 2 more than n and 10 is 36 more than 8 times n.

- The product of 2 + n and 10 is 36 + 8n.

- (2 + n)(10) is 36 + 8n.

- (2 + n)(10) = 36 + 8n

Let's solve.

(2 + n)(10) = 36 + 8n

20 + 10n = 36 + 8n

10n - 8n = 36 - 20

2n = 16

n = 8
