8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe you do, 4 times each number in the absolute value symbol. 4 times n, 4 times positive 8. 4n+32=56

You minus 32 on both sides and you get 24. Then you take 24 and divide it by 4, and there is your answer 6.

You can check it by plugging 6 into the equation.

Write your own word problem and share it with the group. Then translate your problem into its resulting math equation. What step

Ainat [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Word Problems are mathematical problems presented in complete languages, rather than in mathematical notations.

Example:

A certain number is divided by half, the result is added to itself to give 6, what is the number?

Solution:

- Let the number be x

- Divide x by half:

In word problem, extra caution is to be taken, as misinterpretation can be very chaotic. Dividing a number by 2, is totally different from dividing the number by half.

4 divided by 2 is 4÷2 = 2

4 divided by half is 4÷½ = 4×2/1 = 8

2 and 8 are different, reason to be cautious.

So dividing x by half, we have:

x ÷ 1/2 = x × 2/1 = 2x.

- Now, what we have is

2x + x = 6

Solving this equation, we can obtain the value of x.

2x + x = 6

3x = 6

Dividing both sides by 3

3x/3 = 6/3

x = 2.

Therefore, the solution to the word problem is x = 2.

Ethan borrowed $2,190 for a new dirt bike. He will pay the money back in 3 years with a simple interest rate of 2.5%. How much i

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

<h2>The interest ethan will pay is $164.25</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the interest paid by ethan on the borrowed bike using the formula.

Simple Interest = Principal * rate * time/100

Principal = $2,190, rate = 2.5%, time = 3years

On substitution

SI = $\frac{2190*3*2.5}{100}$

$SI = \frac{16,425}{100}\\ SI= $164.25$

The interest ethan will pay is $164.25
