Two thirds of a number is equal to 20 what is the number

1 answer:

4 0

To solve this problem, we should set up an equation, letting the unknown number be represented by the variable x.

2/3x = 20

To solve this equation, we just have to divide both sides of it by 2/3, because we are trying to get the variable alone on the left side of the equation.

x = 30

Therefore, the number is 30.

Katie has enough bricks because it only takes 12,948 bricks to build the wall. To get 12,948, you will multiply 332 by 39. So basically you are multiplying the width by how tall it is.

7x + 50 = 10x + 5

Then, I combine my similar terms --> 45 = 3x
