Three times a number, X, increased by four is equal to five times the number, x. Which equation can be used to solve for x

Mathematics
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Three times a number x :  3x

Three times a number x increase by 4:  3x +4

Five  times the number x: 5x

5x = 3x +4

Subtract 3x from both the sides.

5x - 3x = 3x +4 - 3x

2x = 4

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 4/2

x=2

The number is 2

Suppose you had D dollars in your bank account. you spent $22 but have at least $28 left. how much money did you have initially?
nalin [4]

Answer:

Answer:

d--22→ 28

d→ 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d dollars be the initial amount in your bank account.

We have been given that you spent $22, so the amount left after spending $22 will be: .

We are also told that after spending $22, you have at least $28. This means that the amount left after spending $22 will be greater than or equal to $28.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

Therefore, the inequality represents the initial amount of money you had.

Now let us solve for d by adding 22 to both sides of our inequality.

Therefore, initially you had at least $50.

What is 0.3636363636 to the nearest thousandth?
Bad White [126]

Answer: 0.364

The reason that it would be 0.364 is because the thousandths place is the third decimal place, which would leave you with a 3 but since there is a 6 after the 3, the 3 would be rounded up to a 4.

The amount Lin's sister earns at her part-time job is proportional to the number
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

y = 9.6x

Yes, y is a function of x.

x =  \frac{5}{48} y

Step-by-step explanation:

For a proportional relation, the equation is given by:

y = kx

where k is the unit rate of change.

We were told that, Lin's sister earns $9.6 per hour.

This means k=9.6.

We substitute to get:

y = 9.6x

We could rewrite this as

y(x) = 9.6x

Yes, y is a function of x.

To obtain an equation describing x as a function of y, we solve for x to get:

x =  \frac{1}{9.6} y
