Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
Let the smaller number be x and the larger number be 2x+1.
According to the question,
The sum of the numbers is 20 less than three
times the larger.
i.e x + (2x+1)= 3*(2x+1) - 20
or, x + 2x +1 = 6x + 3 -20
or, 3x + 1 = 6x - 17
or, 3x = 18
or x= 18/3
x = 6
And 2x+1 = 2*6+1 = 13.
Therefore the smaller number is 6 and larger number is 13.
Hope it helps!
Set up and solve an equation:
3(90-x) = (180-x). Then 270 - 3x = 180 - x, or 270 - 180 = 2x.
90 = 2x, so x = 45 deg.
Is this true? 3(90-45) = (180-45)? If so, x = 45 degrees is correct.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3x²-5x+2=0
3x²-3x-2x+2=0
3x(x-1)-2(x-1)=0
(x-1)(3x-2)=0
either x-1=0 which gives x=1
or 3x-2=0
x=2/3
Answer: The first one. 2 to the 20th power over 3 to the 8th power
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 5
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
-4(2y) + 11y
-8y + 11y = 15
3y = 15
/ 3 /3
y = 5
x = 10
