the number is 87
Step-by-step explanation:
the photo contains step by step
Let x be the number.
"twelve decreased by twice a number" ---> 12 - 2x
"8 times the sum of number and 4" ---> 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8x + 32 (distributive property)
12 = 10x + 32 (add 2x to both sides)
-20 = 10x (subtract 32 from both sides)
x = -2 (divide both sides by 10)
Whatever number is the exponent if negative just move it to the right how much the number is. if it 5 with an exponent of -3 then you just move the decimal point 3 times to the right. The anwer to that question would be .005
Yes. Because 150x13=1950. then 1950+60=2610. so yes they met their goal
