If the 8y/4 is the only fraction, the answer is x=7y
If the whole input of the equation is in a fraction, the answer is x=28y
:)
Write two equations with the given information:
1) x = 2y ( x is twice the value of y)
2) x + y = 42
Replace x in the second equation with the value of x in the first equation:
2y + y = 42
Simplify:
3y = 42
Divide both sides by 3:
y = 42 / 3
y = 14
Now we have the value for Y, solve for x by replacing y with 14:
x = 2y
x = 2(14)
x = 28
X = 28 and y = 14
3x-24=x+10
3x-x=24+10
2x=34
x=34:2=17
The answer is less than :)
Answer:
<u>The original number is 96.875</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's find the original number using the Direct Rule of Three, this way:
Percentage Number
100 x
96 93
***********************************************
96x = 93 * 100
96x = 9,300
x = 9,300/96
x = 96.875
<u>The original number is 96.875</u>
