-2m + 4 = 10
-2m = 6
m=-3
M would be -3
<h3>
Correct Question :</h3>
Express in arithmetic :
Seven added to double a number.
<h3>
Solution :</h3>
Let the unknown be x.
Then, double of the number = 2x.
Atq,
2x+7
Hence,seven added to double a number = 2x+7
Wwwooooooowwwww
hh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
From the diagram:
AB + BC = AC
we know that AC = 42, therefore:
AB + BC = 42 ..............> equation I
We know that the ratio AB:BC is 3:4. This means that:
AB/BC = 3/4
4AB = 3BC
AB = (3/4) BC ...............> equation II
Substitute by equation II in equation I to get BC as follows:
(3/4) BC + BC = 42
1.75 BC = 42
BC = 24Substitute with the value of BC in equation II to get AB as follows:
AB = (3/4) * 24 = 18
