Let, the number = x
x/3 + x = 16
x+3x /3 = 16
4x = 16*3
x = 48/4
x = 12

So, the number would be 12

Hope this helps!

Given functions f and g, find f-g.

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

$-5x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

original functions:

$f(x)=3x-8\\g(x)=8x-3$

Subtract the polynomials:

$f(x)-g(x) = (3x-8) - (8x-3)$

Distribute the negative sign:

$3x-8-8x+3$

Combine like terms:

$(3x-8x)+(-8+3)$

Add like terms:

$-5x-5$

What is 35\42 in simplest form

Ostrovityanka [42]

To put a fraction into simplest form, you need to divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCF of both of these numbers.

35 and 42 have a GCF of 7.

So, if we divide
35/7=5
42/7=6

Therefore, 35/42 in simplest form is 5/6

X=-42 what slope if a line is perpendicular to it and what slope of the line is parallel

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Parallel is undefined

Perpendicular is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The line x = -42 is a vertical line through the x-axis. As such its slope is undefined. All parallel lines have the same slope and will also be undefined. Perpendicular lines will be lines horizontal through the y-axis. This means the slope of any perpendicular line to it will be 0.
