Answer(s):
If you are asking for the equation, it's 9(x+4)=2
However, if you're asking for the value of x as well, it's -34/9
Step by Step:
1) First we must find the equation. In your question, the unknown number is x. Therefore we can know that "the sum of a number and 4" is (x+4). Since we are multiplying this sum by 9, we can put the 9 in front of this expression to multiply it--getting 9(x+4). And since we know it "is 2" we can say that 9(x+4)=2.
2) Now, we have to solve the equation, 9(x+4) = 2
3) We can start by distributing, 9x+36 = 2
4) Now let's move 36 to the right by subtracting from both sides, 9x = -34
5) To isolate x, let's divide both sides by 9, x = -34/9
6) Our fraction answer can't be simplified, so we get x = -34/9
2:3:9......added together = 14
2/14 (500) = 1000/14 = 71.43
3/14 (500) = 1500/14 = 107.14
9/14 (500) = 4500/14 = 321.43
You would subtract 5x from y so y=5x-10
2x² - 4x - 30
2(x²) - 2(4x) - 2(15)
2(x² - 4x - 15)
