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:

Checking:

4/x = 3/x-2

4/8 = 3/8-2

1/2 = 3/6

1/2 = 1/2 ✔

Boatesville is 65 3/5 kilometers from Stanton. A bus traveling from Stanton is 24 1/3 kilometers from Boatesville. Write an equa

Elena L [17]

Distance the bus has traveled :

$65 \dfrac{3}{5} - 24\dfrac{1}{3}$

$= 65 \dfrac{3 \times 3 }{5 \times 3} - 24\dfrac{1 \times 5}{3 \times 5}$

$= 65 \dfrac{9 }{15} - 24\dfrac{5}{15}$

$= 41 \dfrac{4 }{15} \text { km}$

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$\text {Answer : The bus has traveled }41 \frac{4}{5} \text { km}$

Which point lies on the circle represented by the equation (x+5) + (y-9) = 8

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

(-5,9+√8)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways in which you can find a point that lies in the circle. One of them is to do y the subject of the formula, and another one is to determine the center of the circumference, and with the information of the radius, you can sum this value upward or downward.

the general equation of a circle is:

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$
