Hey, Edwin7311!

Is means equal sign

More means addition

Twice means times 2.

5+2x=17

Subtract 5 from each side.

5+2x-5=17-5

2x=12

Divide 2 from each side.

x=6

I hope this helps;)

I assume you meant: Five more than twice the number is 17.
If so, you're going to set up your equation as: 17 = 2x+5
17 being the total, 2x being "twice the number", and +5 being "five more than".
Now, subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.
You have 12 = 2x
Then, divide by 2.
You get 6 = x.

What number could be added to 0.40 mL for the level pf precision to be 0.01mL?

Mila [183]

Answer:

-0.39mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number.

The expression would be: 0.40 + x = 0.01

Apply algebra to the equation to solve for x. You can subtract 0.40 from each side to simplify the expression. Here's what it should look like after applying algebra: x = -0.39

Therefore the answer is -0.39mL
