Eighteen less than three times a number is twice the number. Write and solve

Answer:

The number is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write an equation to represent this. Let x represent the unknown number.

3x - 18 = 2x

Move 2x to the left side. Remember, "change the side, change the sign." Add 0 as a placeholder to the right of the equals sign.

3x - 2x - 18 = 0

Simplify like terms.

x - 18 = 0

Move -18 to the right of the equals sign.

x = 18

Now that we know x = 18, we can substitute it into the problem.

"Eighteen less than three times 18 is two times 18."

18 x 3 = 54

54 - 18 = 36

36 is, in fact, two times 18. We can check this by dividing 36 by 2.

36 ÷ 2 = 18

What is the equation of a line with a slope of 7 and a point (1, 8) on the line?
Helen [10]

Answer:

y=7x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of the line into slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

In this problem we have

m=7

point(1,8)

substitute and solve for b

8=7(1)+b

8=7+b

b=8-7=1

The equation of the line is equal to

y=7x+1

Tema [17]

Answer:

For mileages higher than 80 miles Company A  will charge less than Company B

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an inequality:

Company A charges $111 and allows unlimited mileage.

Company A =111

Company B has an initial fee of $55 and charges an additional $0.70 for every mile driven

Company B = 55+0.70m

Where m is the number of miles.

Company A has to charge less than Company B

a<b

111 < 55+0.70m

Solving for m

111-55 < 0.70 m

56 < 0.70m

56/0.70 < m

80 < m  

For mileages higher than 80 miles Company A will charge less than Company B
