IgorC [24]3 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we have to do before we can actually do the problem is turn the words into a math equation.

If we use <em>x </em>as our "number," we see that "The sum of a number and 2" can also be written as <em>x</em>+2. The word "Is" almost always means (=), so now we have (<em>x</em>+2) = . The very last part, "6 less than twice that number," means 2<em>x - </em>6.

So, our whole equation is, (<em>x </em>+ 2) = (2<em>x </em>- 6), which simplifies to -<em>x </em>= -8, or

<em>x</em> = 8

Answer:

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

number = y

y + 2 = 2y - 6

y + 2 - 2 = 2y - 6 - 2

y = 2y - 8

y - 2y = 2y - 2y - 8

- y = - 8

- y × - 1 = - 8 × - 1

y = 8

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

reciprocal \: of \: 5 =  \frac{1}{5}  \\ reciprocal \: of \: (5g - 20) =  \frac{1}{5g - 20}  \\ product \: of \: reciprocals = ( \frac{1}{5} )( \frac{1}{5g - 20 } ) \\  =  \frac{1}{5(5g - 20)}  \\  =  \frac{1}{(25g - 100)}  \\ divide \: by \: 25 \: on \: everything \: (optional) \\  =  \frac{(1 \div 25)}{(25g \div 25) - (100 \div 25)}  \\  =  \frac{0.04}{g - 4}
