Let x = the number.
"increased by" tells you we are adding.
"twice a number" tells you 2 times a number.
16 + 2x = - 24
Subtract 16 from both sides so that we have the variable on one sides and the constants on the other.
2x = - 24 - 16
2x = - 40
Divide by 2 to isolate the variable.
x = - 40/2 = - 20
Your solution is - 20.
To check your answer, plug in.
16 + 2(-20) = - 24
16 - 40 = - 24
- 24 = - 24
2(m-27n) this is the answer
Answer:
3x = 50 - 10y
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, x represents the number of 3 lb weights and y represents the number of 10 lb weights,
So, total weight of 3 lb weights = 3x
And, the weight of 10 lb weights = 10y
Total weight of all his weights = 3x + 10y
According to the question,
Total weight = 50 lb,
⇒ 3x + 10y = 50
Or 3x = 50 - 10y
Which is the required equation.
Second option is correct.
To solve this problem you must apply a theorem called: Intersecting secant theorem. The proccedure is shown below:
1) For the figure shown on the left:
(5)(x+5)=(6)(4+6)
5x+25=60
5x=60-25
x=35/5
x=7
2) For the figure shown on the right:
(3)(3+5)=(4)(x+4)
24=4x+16
24-16=4x
8=4x
8/4=x
x=2
A=P×(0.8)
A is the price after the markdown
P is the original price
0.8 is the multiplier because 1-(80/100)=0.8
80/100 is the same as 80%, which is the remaining value when 20% of the value of the item is deducted.
