Two less than three times a number is 28

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alenkinab [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Two less than three times a number is 28

Let's break it up.

2 less than: -2

3 times a number: 3x (x is representing a number")

is 28: = 28

So, let's put that together.

Two less than three times a number is 28

3x - 2 = 28

Now, let's solve this.

First, let's isolate the x.

To do this, we must add 2 to each side.

3x - 2 = 28

+2           +2

3x - 2 + 2 = 3x

28 + 2 = 30

We have 3x = 30

Now, we must simplify.

To do this, we must divide each side by 3.

This, in term, will tell us what x equals.

3x = 30

---    ----

3      3

3x/3 = x

30/3 = 10

x = 10

Reasoning triangle $abc$ has a perimeter of $12$ units. the vertices of the triangle are $a(x,\ 2),\ b(2,-2)$ , and $c(-1,\ 2)$
OlgaM077 [116]

hmmm let's find the distance between B and C first off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ B(\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\qquad C(\stackrel{x_2}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ BC=\sqrt{(~~-1 - 2~~)^2 + (~~2 - (-2)~~)^2} \implies BC=\sqrt{(-1 -2)^2 + (2 +2)^2} \\\\\\ BC=\sqrt{( -3 )^2 + ( 4 )^2} \implies BC=\sqrt{ 9 + 16 } \implies BC=\sqrt{ 25 }\implies BC=5

hmmm if BC is that much, then AB + AC = 7, since AB + AC + BC = 12 which is the perimeter, Check the picture below.
