23 is decreased by : 23 -
The product of 44 and an unknown number
Let x represent the unknown number
And Product means multiplication
The product of 44 and an unknown number : 44x
Equals 199 : = 199
Now, put that all together
23 - 44x = 199
Now, begin to solve
Subtract 23 on both sides of the equation
-44x = 176
Divide both sides of the equation by -44 to isolate x
x = -4
The unknown number is -4
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an isosceles triangle since the base angles are congruent.
If we know it's an isosceles triangle then we know that the legs of it are congruent.
9x - 8 = 28
9x = 36
x = 4
Let's assume that the statement "if n^2 is odd, then is odd" is false. That would mean "n^2 is odd" leads to "n is even"
Suppose n is even. That means n = 2k where k is any integer.
Square both sides
n = 2k
n^2 = (2k)^2
n^2 = 4k^2
n^2 = 2*(2k^2)
The expression 2(2k^2) is in the form 2m where m is an integer (m = 2k^2) which shows us that n^2 is also even.
So this contradicts the initial statement which forces n to be odd.
Y/2 + 5 = -12 [<span>multiply both sides by 2</span>]
y + 2*5 = 2 *(-12)
y + 10 = -24
y = -24 - 10
y = -34
