Answer: 3.6667

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be p,

Generate an equation from the question

6 x p -5= 17 = 6p - 5 = 17

Make p subject of equation

6p= 17 + 5

6p = 22

Divide both sides by 6

p = 22/6

p= 3.66667

Check:

Slot the value of p into the equation

6 (3.66667) - 5= 17

22 - 5 = 17

Rectangle RSTU and the image R’S’T’U’ are graphed on the coordinate grid below.
Ksju [112]

The rectangle  R’S’T’U’ is a 90° counterclockwise rotation of RSTU so options (A) and (C) will be correct.

<h3>What is a rectangle?</h3>

The rectangle is a geometrical figure in which opposite sides are equal.

The angle between any two consecutive sides will be 90 degrees.

Area of rectangle = length × width.

Perimeter of rectangle = 2( length + width).

Given the rectangle RSTU if we plot it then it becomes a major horizontal rectangle.

If we transpose into R’S’T’U’ then it rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise and becomes a major vertical ractangle.

Hence the rectangle RSTU will rotate 90° counterclockwise to form  R’S’T’U’.

Ten times a number is sixteen more than twice the number. find the number
SVEN [57.7K]
Hello, there!

<span>Ten times a number is sixteen more than twice the number. Find the number.


Answer: 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation:

</span>
First, let's write the equation.

Ten times a number -- 10x

16 more  -- 10x - 16

Twice the number -- 2x

10x - 16 = 2x or 10x = 2x + 16

Let's use the first one: 10x - 16 = 2x

First, let's isolate the x to one side.

10x - 16 = 2x
-10x          -10x

-16 = -8x

Now, let's multiply each side by -1 to make them positive

-16 = -8x
*-1    *-1

16 = 8x

Finally, let's divide each side by 8

16 = 8x
----  ----
  8    8

Our answer is 2 = x

This means that the number is 2.


I hope I helped!
