Answer: 60
Step by Step Explanation:
Let the number be x
So, x-2/3x=20
=> x/1 - 2/3x = 20
=> (3x - 2x)/3 = 20
=> x/3 = 20
=> x= 20*3
=> x=60
Checking if the solution is correct:
So substitute the value of x in x-2/3x=20
As we know x=60
So, => 60 - 2/3*60 = 20
=> 60 - 40 = 20
As 20 = 20
So this answer is correct

Let x be the number.

Set up an equation:

2x - 2/3x = 20

Simplify:

1 1/3x = 20

Divide both sides by 1 1/3

X = 15

The number is 15

Which statement about a dilation with a scale factor of 3 is true?
Valentin [98]

Given :   dilation with a scale factor of 3

To find :  Which statement is true

Solution:

A dilation is a transformation that produces an image that is the same shape as the original, but is a different size

if Dilation factor  N then image Size is multiplied  by  N

if Scale factor  < 1 then image get reduced

if scale factor > 1  then image get enlarged

scale factor = 1 lead to Same size image

Here is given that Scale factor of 3

=> image will be enlarged to 3 times the original image

Hence correct option is :

C)Each side in the pre-image is multiplied by three to find the corresponding side length in the image

Write the equation of a line perpendicular to 5x - 7y =-6 that passes through the point (-5,6)
Likurg_2 [28]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  7x +5y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the perpendicular line by swapping the x- and y-coefficients, and negating one of them. The new constant can be found by using the given point.

  7x +5y = 7(-5) +5(6) = -5

The perpendicular line through (-5, 6) is ...

  7x +5y = -5
