The number is -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number then according to given statement

$4x+10 = x-17$

Subtracting 10 from both sides

$4x+10-10 = x-17-10\\4x = x-27$

Subtracting x from both sides

$4x-x = x-x-27\\3x = -27$

Dividing both sides by 3

$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{-27}{3}\\ x = -9$

<u>Verification:</u>

$4(-9)+10 = -9-17\\-36+10=-26\\-26=-26$

The number is -9

Which expression is equivalent to 4+ [4 x (5-2)] + 2?

zimovet [89]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

which expression is equivalent to 4+ [4 x (5-2)] + 2?

A 4 + 12+2

B 4 + 18 + 2

C 8x3 + 2

D 8 x 5 - 1

4+ [4 x (5-2)] + 2 = 18

A 4 + 12+2 = 18

B 4 + 18 + 2 = 24

C 8x3 + 2 = 26

D 8 x 5 - 1 = 39

check

4 + [4 x (5-2)]+ 2 = 4 + 12 + 2

18 = 18

(-3, 11) a solution to the systems of equations: x – 3y = -36 and 3x + 4y = 48 <br> true or false

Cloud [144]

Answer:

TRUE and FALSE (please look at step-by-step)

Step-by-step explanation:

How to know if it's true or false, you just simply plug in the given numbers to the x and y values.

x = -3

y = 11

for the x - 3y = -36 equation:

-3 -3(11) = -36

-3 - 33 = -36

This equation is true.

for the 3x + 4y = 48 equation:

3(-3) + 4(11) = 48

-9 + 44 = 35

This equation is false.

Aya and Mary are 12 miles apart on a path when they start moving toward each other.

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

1.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

Aya and Mary distance = 12 miles

Let, meeting point from Aya = Z miles

So, Aya covers Z miles to reach Mary.

Hence, Mary covers (12 - Z ) miles to reach Aya

Here, Time = $\frac{Distance}{Speed}$

Aya = $\frac{Z}{5}$

Mary = $\frac{12-Z}{3}$

If, same time taken, then we can solve by following method,

$\frac{Z}{5} = \frac{12-Z}{3}$

By solving the equation, we get

Z = 60 ÷ 8

Or Z = 7.5 miles

Hence, time taken for both to meet = 7.5 ÷ 5

= 1.5 hours
