3a + 3b, for a=2 and b=4 ... The first thing you'd do would be to plug the numbers in -
3 x 2 + 3 x 4
Then multiply them -
6 + 12
Then add -
18.
So your answer should be 18.
n=2
8+8(8-n)=40+8n (distribute 8 through the parenthesis)
8+64-8n=40-8n (add the numbers)
<em>72-</em>8n=40+8n (move the variable to the left side and change its sign)
<em>72</em><em>-</em>8n+8n=40
-8n+8n=40<em>-72</em> (connect like terms)
-16n = -32 (divide both sides by -16)
<u><em>n=2</em></u>
Answer:
x > 4
Suppose that x is some number so 6 times a number is 6*x. 20 more than that number is 20 + x. If you put it together the inequality would be 6x > 20 + x. Subtracting x from both sides would result in 5x > 20. Dividing by 5 gives you x > 4 which is the final answer. So the possible values of that number is anything greater than 4.
