Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The number is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the Number

To find the number, we have to translate the problem above to an algebraic equation. The algebraic equation refers to the statement of the equality of two algebraic expressions.

Equation:

Let "x" be the number.

4 is divided by a number - 4/x

3 divided by the number decreased by 2 - 3/x-2

"4 is divided by a number is equal to 3 divided by the number decreased by 2"

4/x = 3/x-2

Solution:

Cross multiply.

4/x = 3/x-2

x(3) = 4(x-2)

3x = 4x - 8

(Combine similar terms.)

3x - 4x = - 8

- x = - 8

- x/- 1 = - 8/- 1

x = 8

Final Answer:

8

Checking:

4/x = 3/x-2

4/8 = 3/8-2

1/2 = 3/6

1/2 = 1/2 ✔

Can someone help me with this problem
nikdorinn [45]

Answer: x = 33°

Step-by-step explanation: A triangle's angles should all equal 180, so we can set up an equation to help us.

106 + 41 + x = 180

Add 106 and 41

147 + x = 180

Subtract 147 on both sides.

x = 33

And there you go :)
