Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x

1/3x - 5= 2x             Multiply both sides by 3

1*x - 5*3 = 2x*3      Expand and collect like terms.

x - 15 = 6x                Subtract x from both sides

x - x - 15 = 6x-x        Collect like terms

- 15 = 5x                   Divide both sides by 5

-15/5 = 5x/5             do the Division

- 3 = x

Check

1/3(-3) - 5 = 2(-3)

-1 - 5 = - 6

- 6 = - 6

which checks.

Help with this plz<br><br> What is the algebraic expression for three times a number n plus 16
babunello [35]

Answer:

Three times a number plus 16

To solve this, we simply need to break down the words and turn each part into an equation.

"Three times"

This shows that we will be multiplying 3 and something.

3*

"a number"

This shows that the number we will be multiplying 3 by is "n," which represents a number.

3*n or 3n

"plus 16"

This shows we will be adding 16 to the rest of the equation.

3n+16

Using the logic above, we can see that the equation to represent this is 3n+16.

Find the shaded area​
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

24 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the shaded region is the area of the outer triangle subtract the area of the rectangle.

Area of triangle = 0.5 × (4 + 4) × (6 + 2) = 0.5 × 8 × 8 = 4 × 8 = 32 cm²

Area of rectangle = 4 × 2 = 8 cm², hence

Shaded area = 32 - 8 = 24 cm²
