So represent missing number with x
x means unknown so
x+-1=+1
adding a negative means subtraction
x-1=1
you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
add 1 to both sides
x+1-1=1+1
x+0=2
x=2

the number is 2

lidiya [134]

This question basically asks for the LCM of 3 and 5, which is 3 x 5 =15
This is the answer: 15
Check : The first rectangle had 1/3 shaded; ( one in every three parts)
So for 15 parts altogether, 5 would be shaded ( 1/3 = 5/15)
The second rectangle had 2/5 shaded ( two for every five parts)
So for 15 parts altogether, 6 would be shaded (2/5 = 6/15)

4x – 3y=8<br> 2. 5x – 2y = -11

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

$x = -7$

$y = - 12$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is:

4x-3y=8

5x-2y=-11

We make x the subject in the top equation to get:

$x = \frac{3}{4}y + 2$

Plug this expression for x in the bottom equation to get

$5( \frac{3}{4}y + 2) - 2y= - 11$

We expand to obtain

$\frac{15}{4} y + 10 - 2y = - 11$

Multiply through by 4

$15y + 40 - 8y = - 44$

Group similar terms

$15y - 8y = - 44 - 40$

$7y = - 84$

$y = - \frac{84}{7} =-12$

This means

$x = -12\times \frac{3}{4} + 2$

$x = - 7$

BRAINLYYYY PLUS 100 PointsThe difference between two numbers is 84 and their sum is 278. What are the numbers? Hint( answer is x

den301095 [7]

Answer:

x = 181 and y = 97

Step-by-step explanation:

let called the first number is x

the second number would be called y

We are given that:

x + y = 278 (1)

x = y + 84 (2)

Let change x in (2) into (1):

y + 84 + y = 278

2y + 84 = 278

Subtract 84 from both side, we got:

2y + 84 - 84 = 278 - 84

2y + 0 = 194

Divide both side by 2, we got:

2y / 2 = 194 / 2

y = 97

Because y = 97 and x + y = 278 so x would equal:

x + 97 = 278

Subtract 97 from both side, we got:

x + 97 - 97 = 278 - 97

x + 0 = 181

x = 181 and y = 97

Hope this helped :3
