Answer:

The number is 72.        

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number.

We are given that the quotient of a number and 3, less 8, is 16.

Thus, we can write this in the form of equation as:

\displaystyle\frac{x}{3} - 8 = 16\\\\\frac{x}{3}-8 +8 = 16 + 8\\\\\frac{x}{3} = 24\\\\x = 3\times 24 = 72

Thus, the number is 72.

The way I am reading this is 16=(x/3)-8. In that case, x=72. I hope that's the right way of interpreting this :)

Solve the simultaneous equations. You must show all your working to find x and y. 1/2x -3y = 9 5x y + y = 28
dedylja [7]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{x = 6 , y = -2}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf \frac{1}{2} x - 3y = 9-----------(1)\\5x + y = 28 ----------(2)

Taking equation (1)

\sf \frac{1}{2} x -3 y=9

Multiplying both sides by 2

\sf x-6y = 18

Adding 6y to both sides

\sf x = 18+6y

Putting this in (2)

5(18+6y) + y = 28

5(18+6y) + y = 28

90 + 30y+y = 28

31y+90-28 = 0

31 y + 62 = 0

31y = -62

Dividing both sides by 31

y = -2

Now,

x = 18 + 6y

x = 18+6(-2)

x = 18-12

x = 6

How can you use a mixed number ti write 11 feet as an equivalent measure in yards
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer: 3 2/3 Yards

Step-by-step Solution:

In order to solve this problem, you'll want to set up a conversion equation.

** 1 Yard = 3 Feet **

To convert these measurements you'll need to write this conversion factor as a conversion ratio. Your ratio will be 1 yard / 3 feet. This fraction is actually equal to 1, meaning we can multiply it by any number to convert the units without changing its value.

You can then solve by using simple division. I will attach a photo of the steps I did by hand.

** Canceling the units will help avoid confusion **

After you reach the 6th step, all you have to do to find your mixed number is see how many times 3 fits into 11.

3 can go into 11 3 times, with a remainder of 2. Your final answer should be 3 2/3 yards.

I hope this helps! c:

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

10 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

20x+50=250

First subtract 50 from both sides, which gives you 20x=200

then divide 20 from both sides which gives you x=10
