Mathematics

sammy [17]3 years ago

Answer:

The directed number suggested is +3.

Step-by-step explanation:

A directed number is one that has either a positive or negative sign, so that it could be easily located on the number line. Thus, the sign shows the direction of the number. Examples are: -2, -1, +5, +6 etc.

From the given question, let the initial weight be represented by W, then:

I gained 3 pounds implies at that; 3 pounds was added to my initial weight. Thus, my present weight is my initial weight + 3 pounds.

i.e I gained 3 pounds ⇒ W + 3

So that the directed number suggested by the statement is +3.

8(2n - 5) = 3(6n - 2)
joja [24]

Answer:

n=-17

Step-by-step explanation:

8(2n-5)=3(6n-2)

1) Distributive property

16x-40=18x-6

16x−40=18x−6

2) Subtract 16x16x from both sides.

-40=18x-6-16x

−40=18x−6−16x

3) Simplify 18x-6-16x18x−6−16x to 2x-62x−6.

-40=2x-6

−40=2x−6

4) Add 66 to both sides.

-40+6=2x

−40+6=2x

5) Simplify -40+6−40+6 to -34−34.

-34=2x

−34=2x

6) Divide both sides by 22.

-\frac{34}{2}=x

−

2

34

=x

7) Simplify \frac{34}{2}

2

34

to 17

−17=x

8) Switch sides.

x=−17

Solve a-d please i really dont understand
valkas [14]
So i think what you do is if you make a number line like this:

1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8

you have to find out how many numbers are in between 4 and 7, so I would be 3 because there are 3 numbers I between 4-7.

so

a) 3
b) 6
c) 14
d) 8
