Answer:

Unknown number, x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Forming the equation from the information provided above.  

9=2x+17

If we solve for the unknown number, we first collect like terms together.

2x=9-17

2x=-8

Divide both sides of the equal sign by 2 the coefficient of x

x=-4

<u>Answer:</u>

x = -4

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given the following statement which we are to translate into a mathematical equation and then solve it:

<em>'nine is seventeen more than two times a number'</em>

Assuming x to be the unknown number, this can be written as:

9 = 2 x + 1 7

Solving for x:

2 x = 9 - 1 7

2 x = - 8

x=\frac{-8}{2}

x=-4

Therefore, the unknown number is -4.

Can someone please help me on this question?​

Answer: q³⁰

Explanation:

First just solve the first part using the exponent rules

p²q⁵ becomes 1/p-⁸q-²⁰ then we flip the fraction so the exponents become positive. Now we have p⁸q²⁰.

Before multiplying the other equation, we must simplify. p-⁴q⁵ becomes 1/p⁴q-⁵ and since it's the exponents being raised to a power we simply multiply the inner exponents times the outer exponent which yields 1/p⁸q-¹⁰. We must make q-¹⁰ positive so we will then bring it to the numerator of the fraction which gives us: q¹⁰/p⁸.

Multiply q¹⁰/p⁸ * p⁸q²⁰/1 = p⁸q³⁰/p⁸ divide the p exponents by each other which yields 0 since when u divide exponents you just subtract them so 8 - 8 = 0. Your answer is now q³⁰/1 or just q³⁰

One number is five more than three times another. If their difference is 35, what is the larger number?
miv72 [106K]
Let x and y be the two unknown numbers. If one number, say x,is 5 more than 3 times another, say y, the equation would be

x = 5 + 3y

When their difference is 35, x-y = 35, since x is the much larger number here. We substitute x to solve for the smaller number, y.

x - y = 35
(5 + 3y) -y = 35
5 +2y = 35
2y = 35-5
2y = 30
y = 15

The larger number x would be
x = 5 + 3(15)
x = 50

The answer is 50.
