Answer:
26
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the missing number

Convert both fractions to improper fractions

Cross multiply


Subtract both sides by 1,575


Divide both sides by 15

x = 26
Answer: n=-36
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be n
2 fewer than a doubled number can be written as 2n-2
The number decrease by 38,can be written as n-38
Equate both
2n-2=n-38
Collect like terms
2n-n=-38+2
n=-36
The number is -36
1/5 (x - 8) = x - 16...distribute thru the parenthesis
1/5x - 8/5 = x - 16 ...multiply everything by common denominator of 5
x - 8 = 5x - 80 ...subtract 5x from both sides
x - 5x - 8 = - 80 ...add 8 to both sides
x - 5x = -80 + 8 ...combine like terms
-4x = - 72 ...divide both sides by -4
x = -72/-4
x = 18
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
So we have the equation:

First, multiply both sides by 3. This cancels out the denominator:

The left side cancels. Multiply the right:

Add 2 to both sides. The 2s on the left cancel:

Divide both sides by -2. The -2 on the left cancel.

Therefore, the answer is 11.
