If 2/3 of a certain number is subtracted from twice the number, the result is 20. Find the number.

2 answers:

6 0

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

The average rate of change of f from 2 to 3

ella [17]

For a function of $f$ , the average rate of change can be found as follows:

$ARC=\frac{f(x_{2})-f(x_{1})}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

So, this problem asks for the Average Rate of Change of $f$ from $x_{1}=2$ to $x_{2}=3$ . In this way, we need to find $f(x_{1}) \ and \ f(x_{2})$ . As you can see above, we have the graph of $f(x)$ , so we can find these values. Thus, from the graph:

$f(x_{1})=4 \\ f(x_{2})=1$

Therefore:

$ARC=\frac{1-4}{3-2} \\ \\ \therefore \boxed{ARC=-3}$

What number has a 9 with a value ten times as many as the 9 in 39,154

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Any number with 9 in the ten-thousands place. 90,000 is one such number.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 9 in 39,154 is in the thousands place. Its value is 9,000. In order for the 9 in a number to have a value 10 times that, or 90,000, the 9 must be in the ten-thousands place.

There are an infinite number of such numbers. We suspect you have a list you are to choose from. Pick the number with 9 where it is in the number 90,000.
