6 0

the number is 6

let the number be n , then the difference of this number and 3 is n - 3

4 times this is 4(n - 3) = 12 ( solve for n )

divide both sides by 4

n - 3 = 3 ( add 3 to both sides )

n = 3 + 3 = 6

the number is 6

Can't figure out how to set up and check to see if right. 8/11(n-10)=64

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{8}{11}(n-10)=64\\\\\frac{8(x-10)}{11}=64\\ 8(x-10) = 64(11)\\8(x-10) = 704\\8x-80 = 704\\8x= 704+80\\8x=784\\\\\frac{8x}{8}=\frac{784}{8} \\x=98$

Kristen and Mitchell were given the same math assignment. Kristen completes 0.8 of her work in class. Mitchell completes 0.75 of

monitta

Mitchell because if you add a zero at the end of the .8 it would be 0.80 and 0.75 is smaller than 0.80 so Mitchell has more work to do at home

Write the linear equation that gives the rule for this table.

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

f(x) = -7x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is

y = mx + b

m is slope

b is y-intercept

--------------------------

y decreases by 7 for each increase of 1 in x

slope = -7

to find "b" plug in one of the points and m = -7

using point (3, -20)

y = mx + b

-20 = -7(3) + b

-20 = -21 + b

b = 1

The equation is

f(x) = -7x + 1

Assume you invest $3,000 in an account that pays 7% compounded monthly. How much money will be in the account after 6 years?

omeli [17]

Use A = P(1+r/n)^(nt).

Here, A = $3000(1+0.07/12)^(12*6). Can you evaluate this?
