Answer: The number you are thinking is 1

Solution:

Let the number you are thinking be = x

Multiplying the number by 7 = 7x

Adding the number 2 = 7x + 2

Multiplying the number by 2 = 2x

Adding the number 7 = 2x +7

Both these equation are equal to one another

7x + 2 = 2x + 7    

Simplify the equation,    

7x - 2x  = 7 - 2    

5x = 5

x = 1

What fraction is represented by the portion of the figure that is NOT shaded? (2 out of 10 are shaded)
OverLord2011 [107]

Well let's see.

If the figure is split up into 10 pieces, then
each piece is  1/10  of the whole figure.

If  2  of the pieces are shaded, then
2/10  of the whole figure is shaded.

How many pieces are left ?

There were 10 pieces all together, and
2 of them are shaded.  Hmmm.  I think
there are probably  (10 - 2) = 8  of them left
that are not shaded.

8 pieces makes  8/10  of the whole figure.

Joy decided to ride her bike to visit her friend, Three miles from home her bike got a flat tire and she had to walk the remaini
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

okay, so she rode 3 miles. Keep that aside

Then she had 2 walk the remaining 2 miles

She had to walk all the way home. So say for example instead of riding she walked 3 miles, then she walked that additional 2 miles. So, 5 miles. Then add the two miles she had to walk to his house. so, she walked 7 miles and rode 3 miles. 7-3= <em>4</em> miles. I attached a picture that should hopefully explain it better.

Hope this helps!
