Answer:
28.3
Step-by-step explanation:
12/20 = 17/x
cross multiply
12x=340
divide each side by 12
x=28.3333333333.......
round it to nearest tenth

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
n = 5
Discussion:
Let the original number be "n" Translating the problem statement to mathematical symbolism:
n + 4 = 19 - 2n => add 2n to both sides
n + 2n + 4 = 19 - 2n + 2n => combine like terms
3n + 4 = 19 => subtract 4 from both sides
3n = 19 -4 = 15 => divide both sides by 3
n = 15/3 =5
Check: Does 5 +4 = 19 - 2(5)? Does 9 = 9? Yes. so the value for n is confirmed correct.
Thank you,
MrB
Answer: (6 , 3)
Step-by-step explanation: Given
x + 3y =15 ------- equation 1
4x + 2y = 30 --------- equation 2
x = 15 - 3y
Put value of x in equation 2
4 (15 - 3y) + 2y = 30
60 - 12y + 2y = 30
-10y = -30
divide by '-10' on both sides
y = 3
now, put value of y in equation 1
x + 3(3) = 15
x + 9 = 15
x = 15 - 9
x = 6
So , (x , y) = (6 , 3)
Answer:
(8, 0)
(-2, 0)
(-3, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 8 = 0
x = 8
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
x + 3 = 0
x = -3
