Answer:

let the number = x

two more than the number = ( x + 2 )

product of the number and ⅞ = ⅞x

if you add 15 to ( x + 2 ) the result will ⅞x

( x + 2 ) + 15 = ⅞x

8x + 16 + 120 = 7x

x = -136

Answer:

Answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

$12x - y = 25 \\ 9x + y = 17 \\ x = \frac{17 - y}{9} \\ 12( \frac{17 - y}{9} ) - y = 25 \\$

$\frac{204}{9} - \frac{12}{9} y - y = 25 \\ \frac{204}{9} - \frac{21y}{9} = 25 \\ - \frac{21y}{9} = 25 - \frac{204}{9} \\ - \frac{21y}{9} = 2.33 \\ - 21y = 20.997 \\ y = - 0.99$

$y = - 1 \\ x = \frac{17 - y}{9} \\ x = \frac{17 - - 1}{9} = \frac{18}{9} \\ x = 2$

What is 2x-3=4(x-5)? And also what is 2x squared=50?

Ierofanga [76]

2x - 3 = 4(x - 5)
2x - 3 = 4x - 20
4x - 2x = 20 - 3
2x = 17
x = 8 1/2

2x² = 50
x² = 25
x = $\pm$ √25
x = $\pm$ 5

15% of 33 =

= 15% * 33

= 0.15 * 33

= 4.950 students in that class are left-handed

One number is eight more than twice another. If their difference is 25, what is the larger number?

Vladimir79 [104]

You can set up an system of equations
x=2y+8
x-y=25

Substitute x in to the second equation
2y+8-y=25
y+8=25
y=17

Substitute the y back in to the first equation.
x=2(17)+8=42
