:- Six more than one third of a number is three. Find the number.

:-

Let the number be x

One third of a number = x =

Six more than one third of a number = + 6

Their sum = 3

Accoeding to the question,

+ 6 = 3

Multiplying both sides by 3 we get,

x + 18 = 9

Moving constant to the right, we get,

x = 9 - 18

By calculation, we get,

x = -9

∴ The number is -9

Verification :-

+ 6 = 3

=> + 6 = 3

=> -3 + 6 = 3

=> 3 = 3

LHS = RHS ✔✔

∴ The number is -9

Answer:

<h2>Ian will have enough money to buy the gift</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

monthly allowance= $21

from January to June= 6 months

total savings = 21*6= $126

cost of gift = $110

Step two:

Ian will have enough money to buy the gift

since he saved $126 which is greater than the cost of the gift of $110

he would have a balance of $16

Answer:

$x=2+\frac{1}{2}\sqrt[]{21}$

or

$x=2-\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{{21}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$4x^2-16x-26=-21$

Add 21 on both sides.

$4x^2-16x-26+21=-21+21$

$4x^2-16x-5=0$

a=4

b=-16

c=-5

$x=\frac{-b\frac{+}{}\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

$x=\frac{-(-16)\frac{+}{}\sqrt[]{(-16)^2-4(4)(-5)} }{2(4)}$

$x=\frac{16\frac{+}{}\sqrt[]{256+80} }{8}$

$x=\frac{16\frac{+}{}\sqrt[]{336} }{8}$

$x=\frac{16\frac{+}{}\sqrt[]{2^2*2^2*21} }{8}$

$x=\frac{16\frac{+}{}2*2\sqrt[]{21} }{8}$

$x=\frac{16\frac{+}{}4\sqrt[]{21} }{8}$

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

$x=\frac{16}{8}+\frac{4\sqrt[]{21}}{8}$

$x=2+\frac{1}{2}\sqrt[]{21}$

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

$x=\frac{16}{8}-\frac{4\sqrt[]{21}}{8}\\x=2-\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{{21}$

The sum of two numbers is 35.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Larger number(x)=20

Step-by-step explanation:

They're saying that the larger number 3 times is EQUAL(the same) to 4 times the smaller number.

The smallest number=35-x.

The larger number= x.

3 times the larger number=3x

4 times the smaller number=4(35-x)

Now, input it into an equation and solve:

3x=4(35-x) Distribute by multiplying 4 with 35 and x.

3x+4x=140-4x+4x Get 140 by itself by adding 4x.

7x/7=140/7 Divide.

x=20

Since x= the larger number, x=20.
