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

Given:
  h(t) = 25 - a·t²
  h(0.5) = 21

Find:
  t such that h(t) = 0

Solution:
  h(0.5) = 25 - a·0.5² = 21
  25 - 21 = a/4
  4·4 = a = 16
Then
  h(t) = 25 - 16t²
We want h(t) = 0, so
  0 = 25 - 16t²
  16t² = 25
  t² = 25/16 = (5/4)²
  t = 5/4 = 1.25

It takes 1.25 seconds for the entire 25 ft drop.

I am confused on this.​
Ostrovityanka [42]
Straight lines are 180 degrees and angle BCD is 110 degrees, and also AB and CB are the same which means 180-110=70 and 70 divided by 2 is 45 degrees so m angle A =45 degrees and m angle B= 90 degrees and ACB is 45 degrees

sdas [7]

The answer is the option C and the option D, which are:

C. Double the number of pages in the book.

The value of x and y in both equations
Vlada [557]
There is no solution to this set that works for both equations. If you multiply the top equation by 2 and then add them together, the x and y numbers will cancel. This leaves you with 0 =1010, which is never true.
