Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 30 = 14 - 3x
4x = 44
x = 11
Let's call the unknown number x
Now let's decrease it by 30, that is x-30
Now let's write out "14 decreased by three times the number", that is 14 - 3x
The problem says these are the same, that is x - 30 = 14 - 3x
We now want to isolate, or solve for, x
Move the x to one side of the equation by adding 3x to both sides
3x + x -30 = 14 - 3x + 3x
4x -30 = 14
Now move the 30 to the right hand side by adding 30 to both sides
4x - 30 + 30 = 14 + 30
4x = 44
Now all we have to do to get x is divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = 44/4
x = 11
Answer:
The number of machines to complete job in 2 hours is 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the relation of the rate of each one machine and knowing that adding up both rates.
Rate R = 
'x' is the job
Rate S = 
'x' is the job
So, using the equation of rates
Rate total is going to be a job in 2 hours so = 
<em>adding up</em>
<em>factoring the x</em>
<em>simplifying</em>
x= 
x= 6
X=2 because first you have to combine like terms. Than you have to bring the Varible on one side. Finally you solve for the Varible and you get the answer2.
2/3!
