The best way to approach a word problem like this
is to break it down into pieces, so we can understand it fully.
In this problem, we have a number, which we don't know.
We can use any variable to represent it.
So let's use the variable <em>n</em> to represent it.
"Two less than three times a number" means 3n - 2.
A common mistake is for students to put 2 - 3n.
However, the word "less than" switches the order around.
So we have 3n - 2 = 19.
Solving from here, we add 2 to both sides to get 3n = 21.
Now divide both sides of the equation by 3 and we have n = 7.
So the number is 7.
Answer:
The railroad company have to sell 94 tickets to meet its goal.
Answer:
1100/54 yds
Step-by-step explanation:
First convert inches and feet to yards
[3 ft = 1 yd, 12in = 1yd]
5ft = 1 2/3 yds
6in = 1/6 yds
220ft = 73 1/3 yds
Now use the volume formula,
b*w*h = A
[1 2/3] * [1/6] * [73 1/3]
= [5/3] * [1/6] * [220/3]
= [5/18] * [220/3]
= 1100/54 yds
The other angle is adjacent to 55 degrees which means:
55+x=180
x=125 so it 125 degrees
