twice the sum of a number and 3, means you need to add the number to 3 first, then multiply by 2.
The correct expression would be 2(n+3)
Answer:
10=10
Step-by-step explanation:
y-3x+15=10
y=3x-15+10
y=3x-5
subtitute y=3x-5 in the above equation:
3x-5-3x+15=10 (3x will be eliminated with -3x)
-5+15=10
10=10
(i hope this is the way you want the answer but at least I think it is correct)
Answer:
The sum of any integer and its opposite is equal to zero. adding two negative integers always yields a negative sum. To find the sum of a positive and a negative integer, take the absolute value of each integer and then subtract these values.
The number is 6.25.
We will set up an equation for this. Let x be the unknown number. Subtracting 1.05 from it gives us
(x-1.05)
Multiplying the difference by 0.8 would give us
0.8(x-1.05)
Adding 2.84 to the product would give us
0.8(x-1.05)+2.84
Dividing the sum by 0.01 would give us
[0.8(x-1.05)+2.84]/0.01 = 700
We will start working backward, cancelling the division by 0.01 first by multiplying:
([0.8(x-1.05)+2.84]/0.01)*0.01 = 700*0.01
0.8(x-1.05)+2.84 =7
Subtract 2.84 from both sides:
0.8(x-1.05)+2.84-2.84 = 7-2.84
0.8(x-1.05) = 4.16
Use the distributive property on the left side:
0.8*x - 0.8*1.05 = 4.16
0.8x - 0.84 = 4.16
Add 0.84 to both sides:
0.8x - 0.84+0.84 = 4.16+0.84
0.8x = 5
Divide both sides by 0.8:
0.8x/0.8 = 5/0.8
x = 6.25
Answer:
23, 25
Step-by-step explanation:
let the first number be represented as A, since there are two odd numbers, the second number would be A + 2
A + A+2 = 48
2A + 2 = 48
2A = 48 - 2
2A = 46 ( divide both sides by 2)
A = 23
since we know the next number to be A + 2
= 23 + 2 = 25
the two numbers are 23 and 25
