Answer:

Let n = the unknown number.

The English sentence, "Three more than twice a number n is equal to the number n," can be translated mathematically into the following equation:

2n + 3 = n

Subtracting 3 from both sides, we get:

2n + 3 - 3 = n - 3

2n + 0 = n - 3

2n = n - 3

Now subtract n from both sides to isolate and solve for n:

2n - n = n - n - 3

(2 - 1)n = 0 - 3

(1)n = -3

n = -3

CHECK:

2n + 3 = n

2(-3) + 3 = -3

-6 + 3 = -3

-3 = -3

Therefore, n = -3 is the desired number.

Answer:

number is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be n , then 2 times the number is 2n and 3 more than this is

2n + 3 , so

2n + 3 = n + 4 ( subtract n from both sides )

n + 3 = 4 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

n = 1

That is the number is 1

2x+5y how do i simplify this or do i just leave this as that
zheka24 [161]
Since they are not like terms (not the same variables) you cannot simply so you leave it like that.✨ This applies for addition and subtraction only. It’s different with multiplication and division.✨

Solve 2(4x + 5) > 7x + 20.
choli [55]
2(4x+5)>7x+20  perform indicated multiplication on left side

8x+10>7x+20  subtract 7x from both sides

x+10>20  subtract 10 from both sides

x>10

or in interval notation, x=(10, +oo)

HELP!!!!!!!!! I’m almost done
balandron [24]

Alright, we're in the home stretch here :) All you need to remember is that i² = -1. Otherwise, it is the same as FOIL


(3-2i)(1+7i)

3-2i+21i-14i² ← Replace the i² with -1, then simplify like numbers

3+19i+14

17+19i or C
