8(x - 6) = 4x
Distribute.
8x - 48 = 4x
Subtract 8x from both sides.
8x -8x - 48 =4x -8x
Now you have...
-48 = -4x
Divide -4 by both sides.
-48/-4 = -4x/-4
12 = x
The number is 12.
Answer:
3 + 5 + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
In addition it does not matter what order the numbers are in.
Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum the parts of the ratio, 5 + 9 + 13 = 27 parts
Divide the amount of concrete by 27 to find the value of one part of the ratio.
324 ÷ 27 = 12 ← value of 1 part of the ratio , thus
5 parts = 5 × 12 = 60 ← cement
9 parts = 9 × 12 = 108 ← sand
13 parts = 13 × 12 = 156 ← gravel
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
A two-digit number (xy) will have the value 10x+y. The sum of its digits is x+y.
You want ...
10x +y = 2(x +y)
1 ≤ x ≤ 9
0 ≤ y ≤ 9
The equation can be simplified to ...
8x = y
The only single-digit values for x and y that satisfy the requirements are ...
x = 1, y = 8
The two-digit number of interest is 18.
_____
<em>Check</em>
Its sum of digits is 1+8 = 9. 2×9 = 18.
_____
<em>Comment on the relationship in the problem</em>
Many of us learned our multiplication tables for 9s by remembering that the sum of digits of 9n was 9, and that the leading digit of the product was n-1.
