To find this, turn the word question into an equation.
"One less than" means - 1, which is 1 being subtracted from something.
"half a number" means 1/2x, since 1/2 is half and x is unknown.
"is 12" means = 12, which is something equals 12.
Putting this in order would be 1/2x, then - 1, then = 12.
As an equation, this is 1/2x - 1 = 12.
So the equation is 1/2x - 1 = 12
Now you must find the number by solving this equation.
1/2x - 1 = 12
First, add 1 to both sides.
12 + 1 = 13
1/2x = 13
Now multiply both sides by 2.
This way, x will be isolated since 1/2x • 2 = 1x, and 1x = x.
13 • 2 = 26
x = 26
The number is 26.
7 and 79/100 miles that is the answer
It does not matter what order it is in when using addition.
67% of x = 67......turn ur percent to a decimal..." of " means multiply
0.67x = 67
x = 67 / 0.67
x = 100 <==
Hello,
x^2+y^2+8x-6y+21=0
Rewritten in the form of a standard circle equation:
(x-(-4))^2+(y-3)^2=2^2
Therefore, the circle properties are:
(a,b)=(-4,3),r=2
The radius of the circle whose equation is <span>x^2 + y^2 + 8x - 6y + 21 =0 is 2.
