11 times a number increased by 2 is the same as 6 more than 9 times the number. Find the number.

1 answer:

8 0

11x+2 = 9x+6. Subtract 2 from both sides. 11x = 9x+6. subtract 9x from both sides. 2x = 4, divide both sides by 2. x = 2. Substitute the x with 2 and check to see it it works. The numbers should equal each other.

Alik [6]

We first need to pick the correct piece to use. In this case, we will use f(x) = -x-5 because -5<=-4.

Then, we use direct substitution:
f(-4) = -(-4) - 5
f(-4) = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The question calls requires one to get the product of the given time. Since first debate lasted for :

$1\frac {4}{5} \ hrs$

-and the second lasted

$1\frac {4}{5} hrs$ times more than the first then the second took then the first step will involve converting the mixed fractions into improper fraction which will be:
