mber. Then, put the solution values in order from smallest to largest. [Note: The smallest solution is "first", and the largest solution is "fifth".]
1. fourth


Half of a number is added to four. This sum is equivalent to negative one.


2. first


The sum of a number and three is divided by five. The result is negative two.


3. third


The difference between four times a number and five has a result of negative eight.


4. second


The difference between a number and five is multiplied by negative two. The

resulting product equals fourteen.

Answer:

First x=-13 (The sum of a number and three is divided by five. The result is negative two.)

Second x=-10 (Half of a number is added to four. This sum is equivalent to negative one.)

Third x=-3.5 (The sum of a number and two is equal to the quotient of six and negative four.)

Fourth x=3.25 (The difference between four times a number and five has a result of negative eight.)

Fifth  x=12 ( The difference between a number and five is multiplied by negative two. The  resulting product equals fourteen. )

Step-by-step explanation:

We will consider number = x

1. Half of a number is added to four. This sum is equivalent to negative one.

\frac{1}{2}x+4=-1

Now solving to find value of x

\frac{1}{2}x+4=-1\\\frac{1}{2}x=-1-4\\\frac{1}{2}x=-5\\x=-5*2\\x=-10

So, value of x=-10

2. The sum of a number and three is divided by five. The result is negative two.

\frac{x+3}{5}=-2

Solving:

\frac{x+3}{5}=-2\\x+3=-2*5\\x+3=-10\\x=-10-3\\x=-13

So, value of x=-13

3. The difference between four times a number and five has a result of negative eight.

4x-5=-8

Solving:

4x-5=8\\4x=8+5\\4x=13\\x=13/4\\x=3.25

So, value of x=3.25

4. The difference between a number and five is multiplied by negative two. The  resulting product equals fourteen.

(x-5)*-2=-14

Solving

(x-5)*-2=-14\\-2x+10=-14\\-2x=-14-10\\-2x=-24\\x=-24/-2\\x=12

So, value of x=12

5. The sum of a number and two is equal to the quotient of six and negative four.

x+2=\frac{6}{-4}

Solving:

x+2=\frac{6}{-4}\\x+2=-\frac{3}{2}\\x=  -\frac{3}{2}-2\\x=\frac{-3-2*2}{2} \\x=\frac{-3-4}{2} \\x=\frac{-7}{2} \\x=-3.5

So, value of x=-3.5

Now arranging based on values of x

x=-10, x=-13, x=3.25, x=12, x=-3.5

First x=-13 (The sum of a number and three is divided by five. The result is negative two.)

Second x=-10 (Half of a number is added to four. This sum is equivalent to negative one.)

Third x=-3.5 (The sum of a number and two is equal to the quotient of six and negative four.)

Fourth x=3.25 (The difference between four times a number and five has a result of negative eight.)

Fifth  x=12 ( The difference between a number and five is multiplied by negative two. The  resulting product equals fourteen. )

Which value in the set [4, 9, 15, 36] is a solution of 12 = 3 + x?
Travka [436]

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

12=x+3

Step 2: Flip the equation.

x+3=12

Step 3: Subtract 3 from both sides.

x+3−3=12−3

What is 9m + 2 = 3m - 10
cupoosta [38]
9m+2=3m-10
subtract 3m from both sides to get:
6m+2=-10
subtract 2 from both sides to get:
6m=-12
finally, divide by 6 on both sides to get what m equals:
m=-2

20 years ago, father's age was 5 times his son's age. Now his age is 10 years more than twice his son's present age. Find their
Montano1993 [528]

Step-by-step explanation:

x = father's age now

y = son's age now

x = 2y + 10

x - 20 = 5(y - 20) = 5y - 100

using the first in the second equation :

2y + 10 - 20 = 5y - 100

-10 = 3y - 100

90 = 3y

y = 30

x = 2y + 10 = 2×30 + 10 = 60 + 10 = 70

the father is now 70 years old, the son now 30 years old.
