If three times a number increased by 4, the result is -8

Biology

Answer:

The original number is -4.

Explanation:

Let the original number be n.

Next, three times the number is equal to 3n.

Then, increased by 4 means 4 is added.

Hence, three times a number increased by 4 equals -8 is written in the equation form as shown below.

=>  3n + 4 = -8

=> 3n = -8 + (-4)

Since the number, 4, goes on the other side of the equal sign, the number positive 4 changes its sign and becomes negative 4, as shown above.

=> 3n = -8 -4

=> 3n = -12

=> n = -12/3

=> n = -4

Checking the above solution.

Three times the number is equal to 3 * (-4) = -12.

The above product when increased by 4 gives the equation as shown.

-12 + 4 = -8.

The result is -8.

This result is same as the result mentioned in the given question, -8.

Hence, the answer that -4 is the original number is correct.

​culturally, why might females need to meet higher standards of attractiveness to be considered as credible as​ males?
Elodia [21]
It may have to do with more olden stereotypes, where women were seen to be caretakers of the family, while the male went out to work and earn for them. Many jobs back then were dependent on strength, so as long as men fulfilled their role of earning money (through labor) their looks were seen as little importance. Let me elaborate. If a man could care for his family, he was seen as admirable, or at least acceptable to society. If he couldn't earn, then he was deemed worthless. So a man's honor depended on how his strength was. In this sense, looks didn't really contribute to a man's place in society. Women, on the other hand, were the face of the family. Men would show them off to friends, so if women weren't decently attractive, then it wouldn't be very good for the male. Other than housework, the woman's job is to literally sit still and look pretty; thus the reason behind corsets, bonnets, petticoats and so on. You won't see society asking men to wear such complicated things, because their main job is to work. It would be unsuitable for a blacksmith to be wearing tight suits while hammering, no? I hope this gave you some general insight.

All of the traits combined that actually show up in the individual - this is the phenotype (the physical, observed expression of genes

Each person has two genes. The DOMINANT TRAIT will show up if that trait is present on one of the two genes.

The RECESSIVE TRAIT can be hidden by the dominant trait. It will only show up if a person has both genes for that trait.

An observable form of an inherited characteristic - A trait

The traits that an individual has inherited, including the ones that do not show up - this is the genotype, as it accounts for the set of genes in our DNA
