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!

What is the slope of o line that passes through (-4,-14) and (19,11)?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

D, see description below.

There is a possible typo in the problem since these points have slope 25/23.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line, calculate the distance between points with a ratio of vertical to horizontal distance. This is done using the formula:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Here the points are (-4,-14) and (19,11). Substitute and simplify.

m=\frac{11--14}{19--4}=\frac{11+14}{19+4}=\frac{25}{23}

I think there is a typo in your points (-4,-14) and (19,11) because the answer doesn't align to the answer choices. But based on them, I would answer D or 24/23 since it's the closest value.

A bookkeeper bought 2,000 exercise book distributed 200 books to the student from poor economic background as donation .he sold
Andrews [41]

Books left=2000-200=1800

ATQ

\\ \sf\longmapsto 1800x+10=0.08x

\\ \sf\longmapsto 1800x-0.08x=-10

\\ \sf\longmapsto x(1800-0.08)=-10

\\ \sf\longmapsto x(1799.92)=-10

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=|\dfrac{10}{1799.92}|

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=0.005

Now

\\ \sf\longmapsto CP=0.005(2000)=10
