Set up a proportion
EA / EB = ED/ EC
16 / (5x + 2 + 16) = 12 / (12 + 24)
16/(5x + 18) = 12 / 36 Cross multiply
16 * 36 = (4x + 18)*12 Remove the brackets
576 = 48x + 216 Subtract 216 from both sides.
360 = 48x Divide by 48
360/48 = x
7.5 = x

A number is divided by 3. That quotient is increased by 12. The result is 46. Find the number.
anzhelika [568]

Let the number be x.

x/3 + 12 = 46

Subtract 12 from both sides and you will get:

x/3 = 34

Multiply both sides by 3:

x = 102

Which expression correctly represents "twice the sum of four and a number"?
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

2(4+x)

Step-by-step explanation:

"Twice the sum of" tells us it will be the equation times two

"the sum of four and a number" is easy, thats 4 + x

The second number is x because the number is not specified so we need a place holder, x in this case, to tell us that the number is not given.

All this put together = twice the sum of four and a number, or <u>2(4+x)</u>
