Three times a number increased by ten is equal to twenty less than six times the number. Find the number

Mathematics
1 answer:
AysviL [449]2 years ago
4 0

Let the number be x. "Three times a number increased by 10" is mathematically translated as

3x + 10

"is equal" is mathematically translated as twenty less than six times the number" is mathematically translated as

6x - 20

The whole sentence "Three times a number increased by ten is equal to twenty less than six times the number" is translated as

3x + 10 = 6x - 20

We now solve the above linear equation to find the number x

3x - 6x = - 20 - 10

- 3x = - 30

x = 10

Check answer

Three times a number increased by ten : 3 × 10 + 10 = 40

Twenty less than six times the number : 6 × 10 - 20 = 40

Is x - 4 = 2 an equation or an expression? Explain.
pshichka [43]
Answer: equation

Reasoning: So an easy way to remember this is, an equation has an equals sign. So remember equal sounds like equation so that’s a way to know. And an expression doesn’t have an equals sign.

A toy box contains eight green balls and four purple balls. Suppose you choose a ball at random and then replace it by putting i
dedylja [7]

Answer: C.  \dfrac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Box contains 8 green balls and 4 purple balls.

Total balls = 8+4 = 12

event 1 = first picking green ball

event 2 = second picking purple balls.

As first ball was replaced, that means both events are independent.

Probability that you have selected a green ball and then a purple ball = P(purple ball )

Formula for probability = \dfrac{\text{favorable outcomes}}{\text{total outcomes}}

Probability of selecting a purple ball (second pick)= \dfrac{4}{12}

=\dfrac{1}{3}

The required probability =\dfrac{1}{3}, so C is correct option.

1) Order the animals by sleep time from least to greatest.
Zolol [24]
The way to line the animals is to put them in order going down. 0.433 56.3% 19/40 65.8%. Then you try to figure out what you need to convert so that you can get your answer. 56.3% changes to 0.563 because you move the decimal two places to the left. 65.8% changes to 0.658 and 19/40 is 0.475. 0.433 0.563 0.475 0.658. Now you compare each row to figure them out. When you do that your answer will be 0.433, 0.475, 0.563, and 0.658. I sleep about 9/24 of the day which is 0.375 and I will fit right befor 0.433.
