Three-fourths of a number increased by one-half
= 3/4 x + 1/2
So three-fourths of a number increased by one-half is equal to fourteen:
3/4 x + 1/2 = 14
Multiply both sides by 4
3x + 2 = 56
Subtract 2 from both sides
3x = 54
Divide both sides by 3
x = 18
Answer: The number is 18
Undefined!! i hope this helps
Answer:
The solution is (0, 3/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Please copy and share the instructions. Here they are: Solve the following system of linear equations.
Both of the equations can be reduced (simplified):
2x+8y = 6 => x + 4y = 3
15x + 20y = 15 => 3x + 4y = 3
Let's use the elimination by addition and subtraction method. Multiply the first equation by -1, obtaining
-x - 4y = -3
Add the second 3x + 4y = 3
equation to the
first.
We get: 2x = 0.
Thus, x = 0. Substituting 0 for x in the 1st original equation yields:
2(0) + 8y = 6. Then y = 6/8, or y = 3/4.
The solution is (0, 3/4).
The factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, and 40. So therefore, the numbers would be 2 and 4.
