Answer:
Equation: 
Solve for n: n = 112
Step-by-step explanation:
To first set up the equation, you need to look at the verbal description and translate into numbers and operations:
'three fourths a number' = 
'plus 8' = + 8
'is' =
'20 less' = - 20
'the number' = n
Put the expressions together:
'three fourths a number plus 8': 
'20 less than the number': n - 20
Set them equal to each other and solve:
Add 20 to both sides: 
Subtract 
from both sides: 
Multiply both sides by 
: 
Solve for n: n = 112
8 ÷ 544 = 0.0147058824, 544 ÷ 8 = 68
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
-3a + 8 = 2z + -12
Reorder the terms:
8 + -3a = 2z + -12
Reorder the terms:
8 + -3a = -12 + 2z
Solving
8 + -3a = -12 + 2z
Solving for variable 'a'.
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -8 + -3a = -12 + -8 + 2z
Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + -3a = -12 + -8 + 2z
-3a = -12 + -8 + 2z
Combine like terms: -12 + -8 = -20
-3a = -20 + 2z
Divide each side by '-3'.
a = 6.666666667 + -0.6666666667z
Simplifying
a = 6.666666667 + -0.6666666667z
Answer: x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
The bottom triangle that has a 40° is an isosceles triangle, therefore the other angle at the bottom right is also 40°. This leaves the top angle to be 100°.
180=40+40+x
180=80+x
x=100
Now, to find ∠2, you can tell it is a supplementary angle. Therefore, the 2 angles add up to 180°
180-100=∠2
80°=∠2
The problem states that ∠2 is 9x-1. We know that ∠2 is 80°. We can solve for x.
80=9x-1
81=9x
x=9
