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

18 2/5 - n = -10 1/3

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The answer is $n=28\frac{11}{15}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

18 2/5 - n = -10 1/3.

Now, to solve the equation:

$18\frac{2}{5} - n = -10 \frac{1}{3}$

Converting the mixed fractions to improper:

⇒ $\frac{92}{5} -n=-\frac{31}{3}$

Moving the numbers on one side and variable to the other:

⇒ $\frac{92}{5} +\frac{31}{3}=n$

Now, solving the factions:

⇒ $\frac{92\times 3+31\times 5}{15}=n$

⇒ $\frac{276+155}{15}=n$

⇒ $\frac{431}{15}=n$

⇒ $28\frac{11}{15}=n$

Therefore, the answer is $n=28\frac{11}{15}$ .

Bryan is asked to write an inequality to represent the graph.

Fittoniya [83]

The error that Bryan has done in this inequality is that he included –14 in his solution set.

<h3>How to point out the mistake made</h3>

What Bryan has to do would be to write this inequality in such a way that the variable would appear on the left.

But the symbol that he has chosen does not move in this same direction as the graph.

The -14 should not be inclusive in the graph because it is not a part of the graph solution.

He used the wrong number in this inequality.
