Let the number be x. "Three times a number increased by 10" is mathematically translated as
3x + 10
"is equal" is mathematically translated as twenty less than six times the number" is mathematically translated as
6x - 20
The whole sentence "Three times a number increased by ten is equal to twenty less than six times the number" is translated as
3x + 10 = 6x - 20
We now solve the above linear equation to find the number x
3x - 6x = - 20 - 10
- 3x = - 30
x = 10
Check answer
Three times a number increased by ten : 3 × 10 + 10 = 40
Twenty less than six times the number : 6 × 10 - 20 = 40
Daniela made her error on step 3 because it says:
"Find the ratio of the differences of the means compared to the mean absolute deviation.
She didn't find the difference between the today and last week means. She just put the mean as a whole.
Answer:
6^3 = 216 ( to the power of three )
M+4n=8
m=n-2
we see that m=n-2
so we can subsitute 'n-2' for m in the first equation
(n-2)+4n=8
n-2+4n=8
5n-2=8
add 2 to both sides
5n=10
divide by 5
n=2
subsitute
n=2
m=n-2
m=2-2
m=0
m=0
n=2
the answer is c. 0,2
