Let the number be x.
Therefore, by the problem
x/6-(-3) = 12
or, x/6+3 = 12
or, x/6 = 12-3
or, x/6 = 9
or, x = 9 × 6
or, x = 54
The number is 54.
Answer:
Milan puts 1/4 of her lawn-mowing money in savings and uses 1/2 of the remaining money to pay back her sister. If she has $15 left
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case we use intersecting secant theorem
According to this theorem, GF*GE = GH*GA
So,we plug in the values
(x-3)*(x-3+9) =(x-2)*(x-2+6)
(x-3)*(x+6) =(x-2)*(x+4)
x^2 +6x -3x -18 =x^2 +4x -2x -8
x^2 +3x -18 =x^2 +2x -8
x^2 +3x -18 -x^2 -2x +8 =0
x -10 =0
x=10
So,FG =x-3 = 10-3 =7
