Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

number is represented as x.

81 is added to a number is

81 + x

39 less than three times the number

3x - 39

So

81 + x = 3x - 39

Solve for x.

81 + x = 3x - 39 Add 39 to each side so 39 cancels on the right.

81 + x + 39 = 3x - 39 + 39

81 + x + 39 = 3x

81 + 39 + x = 3x

120 + x = 3x Subtract x from each side.

120 + x - x = 3x - x

120 = 3x - x

120 = 2x    Divide each side by 2

120/2 = 2x/2

120/2 = x

60 = x

120/2=2x/2

60=x

therefore x =60

For what values (cases) of the variables the expression does not exist: <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B4y%2B
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

y = - \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{3}{4y+2}

The denominator of the expression cannot be zero as this would make it undefined. Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that y cannot be, that is

4y + 2 = 0 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

4y = - 2 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = \frac{-2}{4} = - \frac{1}{2} ← excluded value
