Answer: The number is 0.75 or 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
let x = the number.
Now set up an equation: The product of a number (x) and -4 = -4x. So -4x is subtracted from the number - x. x-(-4x)
Then, that equals 3 more than the number (x) = x+3
So the equation is x-(-4x)=x+3.
Then, solve the equation!
x-(-4x)=x+3
x+4x=x+3 (Distribute the negative to the parentheses)
5x=x+3 (Combine like terms)
4x=3 (Get the Xs on one side by subtracting x from both sides)
x=0.75 or 3/4 (divide by the coefficiant, 4, on both sides)
The answer to the question
Addition,subtraction,and multiplication
A car traveled 140 miles in 2 hours. at this rate, how many miles will the car travel in 5 1/2 hours?
You just multiply
Answer:
120
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that 36 is 30% of total items
So our equation would be 36/? = 30/100
From there we cross multiply so 36x100 = 3600
From there, we divide 3600 by 100
Therefore, your answer is 120
