Change the messy words into numerals
3 times a number minus 2 equals 13
3 × n - 2 = 13
3n - 2 = 13
take 2 to the other side
3n - 2 + (2) = 13 + (2)
3n = 15
Divide by 3 on either sides to isolate n
=
3 and 3 cancels out
n = 5
check:
3 times 5 minus 2 equals 13
3 × 5 - 2 = 13
15 - 2 = 13
13 = 13
The number is 5
Answer:10
Step-by-step explanation:
Each exterior angle is (3x + 6)°
A decagon has 10 sides
Each exterior angle=360/n
n=number of sides
3x+6=360/10
Cross multiply
10(3x + 6)=360
30x+60=360
Collect like terms
30x=360-60
30x=300
Divide both sides by 30
30x/30=300/30
x=10
I believe that the correct answer is 72
Hope this helps!<3
Answer:
Equation;
(3/4)x = 2/3
Solving;
x = 8/9
she would need 8/9 of her sugar to make a full batch.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the amount of sugar that would be needed to make the whole batch.
Given that;
Pia used 2/3 of her sugar to make 3/4 of a batch of cookies.
Since 2/3 of her sugar is needed to make 3/4 of a batch of cookies, then;
(3/4)x = 2/3
Solving the equation, dividing both sides by 3/4;
(3/4)x ÷ 3/4 = 2/3 ÷ 3/4
x = 2/3 × 4/3
x = 8/9
Therefore she would need 8/9 of her sugar to make a full batch.
I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but I'm trying. I think it's -10, because if you think of it, you may think that oh, it's going to be the oppisite, so I got -10. If I'm wrong, I'm very sorry.
