Answer:
The number is 42.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the unknown number.
"two less than a number" is x - 2
Quotient means the result of a division.
(x - 2)/5 = 8
Multiply both sides by 5.
x - 2 = 40
Add 2 to both sides.
x = 42
Answer: The number is 42.
Check.
Start with 42. 2 less than 42 is 40. The quotient of 40 and 5 is 40/5 which is 8. The answer is correct.
The length of the first two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the last side. If the longest length were 18, the first two sides would be too short. 36-18=18, 18 is equal not greater than 18 which means the sum of the first two sides are too short.
About 5 or 4.9 is the estimation
Because there is no number that when multiplied by itself that could equal to 10 (ex: 16 is a perfect square because 4 and 4 multiplied together equals 16; 4 and 4 are the same number)
Answer:
117/78
Step-by-step explanation:
(-50-67)/(-12-56)=-117/-78=117/78
