To multiply it by itself three time eg 2x2x2
Answer:
The number is -3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up an equation:
Variable n = number
12 + 7n = n - 6
Assuming the question is solve for n, isolate the variable:
Subtract n from both sides:
12 + 6n = -6
Subtract 12 from both sides:
6n = -18
Divide by 6 on both sides:
n = -3
Check your work:
12 + 7(-3) = -3 - 6
12 - 21 = -3 - 6
-9 = -9
Correct
2 1/4 miles => 1 week
1 mile => 1 ÷ 9/4
( 9/4 is an improper fraction of 2 1/4 )
12 1/2 miles => ( 1 ÷ 9/4 ) × 25/2
= 50/9
= 5 5/9 weeks
( 25/2 is an improper fraction of 12 1/2 )
Therefore, it will take 5 5/9 weeks for the company to replace the stretch of road.
( you can round it off to 6 weeks if the qn specify to give to the nearest whole number )
The hourly wage is approximately $26 per hour. Find out how many hours the person works per year by multiplying 40 x 50 to get 2,000 hours. Then divide 52,000 by 2,000 to get the person's hourly wage, which is $26 hours per hour.
Answer:
"simplify"
Step-by-step explanation:
The notion of <em>simplifying</em> an expression depends on the expression. For the one offered as an example, the simplification steps required are eliminating parentheses and combining like terms.
Other possible simplification steps include combining fractions, reducing fractions, and rationalizing denominators (eliminating surds or complex numbers).
It appears the vocabulary word that is desired in the blank is <u>simplify</u>.
