Answer:

14x - 8 = 22 + 20x

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "the number" be represented by x

Take each part of the statement and translate into algebraic form

"14 times a number" 14x

"decreased By eight" -8

"is" =

"22 Increased by" 22 +

"20 times The same number" 20x

Put the equation together. Solve for x by isolating.

(

14x - 8 = 22 + 20x

14x - 8 - 20x = 22 + 20x - 20x Subtract 20x from both sides

-6x - 8 = 22

-6x - 8 + 8 = 22 + 8  Add 8 to both sides

-6x = 30

-6x ÷ -6 = 30 ÷ -6  Divide both sides by -6

x = -5

BRAINLIEST!!!<br> 11. Solve the inequality and graph the solution on a number line.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

y≤-1/3 (fraction)

And on the number line it will start from -1/3 (-0.333) and go less than -1/3 ( to the left, and it will be shaded

Step-by-step explanation:

First we expand the brackets, making it -15y+12≥17

Then we move 12 to the other side, making it negative, -15y≥17-12

Simplify, -15y≥5

Then we divide on both sides to isolate y, flipping the greater than sign to less than because when you divide or multiply by a negative number, the sign flips. y≤5/-15

Then we simplify by dividing the fraction by 5, making it -1/3. y≤-1/3

Emelia measures the weight of a rock to be 30 grams. The actual weight of the rock is 24 grams. Determine Emelia's percent error
Shalnov [3]

Answer: 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Emelia measures the weight of the rock to be 30 gm

The actual weight was 24 gm

Percentage error is given by  

\Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{Deviation }}{\text{Actual value}}\times 100

Insert the values

\Rightarrow \dfrac{30-24}{24}\times 100\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{6}{24}\times 100\\\\\Rightarrow 25\%

Therefore, the percentage error is 25%.
