Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

If I increase twice my number by 5, the result is the same as if I triple my number and subtract 1. This can be formed into an equation as:

(2 × x) + 5 = (3 × x) - 1

2x + 5 = 3x - 1

5 + 1 = 3x - 2x

x = 6

The number you are thinking of is 6

Please help me!<br><br> x + 6 ≤ 8
ANEK [815]
Your goal is to isolate the x variable, so all you have to do here is subtract 6 on both sides.

Your final answer is x ≤ 2.

Hope this helps a lot! :)

Does anyone know this????????

Answer:

               3

       ______

    4 |       12

              -12            

              -----

                0

Step-by-step explanation:

12/4  

The top number always goes inside (larger or not), and the bottom number always goes on the outside (larger or not).

       

         ______

    4 |       12

Ask yourself how many 4's are in 12.

Let's see one 4 is just 4.

We can probably do more 4's than that.

Two 4's gives us 4+4=8.

Let's see if we can put one 4 in there.

Three 4's gives us 4+4+4=12.

So we can fit three 4's into 12 and there is nothing left over.

               3

       ______

    4 |       12

              -12                (since 4 times 3 or 4+4+4 is 12)

              -----

                0
