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 ✔

A friend calls you and asks you to meet at the park 2 mi away in 25 min. You set off on your skateboard after the call. At what
xeze [42]

Answer:

speed greater than 0.08 mi/min

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

distance = 2 mi

time = 25 min

to find out

the distance you travel and your speed  and time related

solution

we know that distance is

distance = speed × time     ...............1

so at park at most 25 min

so we need time = \frac{distanec}{speed} \leq 25

so here

we know

\frac{2}{25} \leq speed

so

0.08 \leq speed

so we can say that he need to run at speed greater than 0.08 mi/min

Help solve equations by completing the square
Allushta [10]

x^2+10x+22=13\\x^2+10x+22-13=0\\x^2+10x+9=0\\

Now completing the square.

(x^2+10x)+9=0\\(x^2+10x+25)+9-25=0\\(x+5)^2-16=0\\(x+5)^2=16

(x+5)² = 16 is the rewritten equation... For first question btw.

For the solutions to the equation -

x+5=\sqrt{16},-\sqrt{16} \\x+5=4,-4\\x=4-5,-4-5\\x=-1,-9

x = -1,-9 is the solution, for the second question.

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

p + q = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

p^{2} + 6 p = q^{2} + 6q \\p^{2} - q^{2} = 6q - 6p

( p + q) ( p-q) = 6 ( q - p )

p + q = \frac{6 ( q - p)}{(p-q)}  \\p + q = \frac{-6( p - q)}{(p - q)} \\p + q = -6
