A number is :

x

_________________________________

Three quarters of it means :

\frac{3}{4}x \\

_________________________________

Decrease by 20 means :

\frac{3}{4}x - 20 \\

_________________________________

Equals to 82 means :

\frac{3}{4}x - 20 = 82 \\

_________________________________

What is that number ?

x asked so we must solve the above equation for x.

Let's do it....

\frac{3}{4}x - 20 = 82 \\

Plus sides 20

\frac{3}{4}x = 82 + 20 \\

\frac{3}{4}x = 102 \\

Multiply sides by 4

3x = 102 \times 4

Divided sides by 3

x =  \frac{102 \times 4}{3} \\

x =  \frac{102}{3} \times 4 \\

Simplify

x = 34 \times 4

x = 136

So that number is 136 .

And we're done.

Thanks for watching buddy good luck.

Point m is located at 4,-2 what is located 2 units for point m
eimsori [14]

Answer:

None

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

m = (4,-2)

Required

Point 2 units from m

There are 4 possible points 2 units from m and they are:

m' = (4+2,-2) = (6,-2)

m" = (4,-2+2) = (4,0)

m'''= (4-2,-2) = (2,-2)

m'''' = (4,-2-2) = (4,-4)

From the graph, we have:

A = (4,2)

B = (-4,2)

C = (2,-3)

None of the points is 2 units from m
