Answer: That number is 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

n + 7 = 2n- 9        n represents the number now  solve the question

   + 9            +9        add 9 to both sides

n + 16 = 2n             subtract n from both sides

-n            -n

  16= 1n                     Divide both sides by 1

n= 16

Check:    16 + 7 = 2(16) - 9

                 23 =23

Answer:
That number is 16

Explanation:
Step 1 - Write down the information you know

*ps. for this problem we will be using x to represent the unknown number. for future problems, just know that unless a variable has an assigned letter to represent it, you can usually pick whichever letter you’d like

• “Seven more” — “7 +”
• “then one number equals” — “x =”
• “nine less than” — “- 9”
• “double that number” — “2x”

Step 2 - Write an equation using the information you know

x + 7 = 2x - 9

Step 3 - Subtract x from both sides of the equation

x + 7 = 2x - 9
x - x + 7 = 2x - x - 9
7 = x - 9

Step 4 - Add 9 to both sides of he equation and then switch sides

7 = x - 9
7 + 9 = x - 9 + 9
16 = x
x = 16

Now that we have found the value of x, we know that the number is 16.

What is the least number of colors you need to correct color in the sections of these pictures so that no two touching sections
Kobotan [32]

You would assume that in this figure, the number of colored sections with which are not colored with respect to a " touching " colored section, would be half of the total colored sections. However that is not the case, the sections are not alternating as they still meet at a common point. After all, it notes no two touching sections, not adjacent sections. Their is no equation to calculate this requirement with respect to the total number of sections.

Let's say that we take one triangle as the starting. This triangle will be the start of a chain of other triangles that have no two touching sections, specifically 7 triangles. If a square were to be this starting shape, there are 5 shapes that have no touching sections, 3 being a square, the other two triangles. This is presumably a lower value as a square occupies two times as much space, but it also depends on the positioning. Therefore, the least number of colored sections you can color in the sections meeting the given requirement, is 5 sections for this first figure.

Respectively the solution for this second figure is 5 sections as well.

George placed the numbers -1/2 , 8/9 , 0.2 and on the numberline . Which of the numbers is furthest from zero ?
dimaraw [331]
Furthest from 0, so I am going to take the absolute value of these numbers. The absolute value will tell us how far away from 0 these numbers are. 
|-1/2| = |- 0.5| = 0.5
|8/9| = |0.88| = 0.88
|0.2| = 0.2

so the number furthest from 0 is 8/9
