Answer:

let natural no be x

(x-20)=96/x

x²-20x-96=0

x²-24x+4x-96=0

x(x-24)+4(x-24)=0

(x-24)(x+4)=0

either

x=24

x=-4

Sole for y k = p/2(y+w) y =

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Answer: y = (2k -pw)/p

Step-by-step explanation:

$k = \frac{p}{2} (y + w)$

multiply 2 on both sides:

$k \times 2 = 2 \times \frac{p}{2} (y + w) \\ \\ 2k = p(y + w)$

open the bracket:

$2k = py + pw$

subtract pw from both sides:

$2k - pw = (py + pw) - pw \\ 2k - pw = py$

divide p on both sides:

$\frac{2k - pw}{p} = \frac{py}{p} \\ \\ y = \frac{2k - pw}{p}$

When 142 is added to a number, the result is 64 more times than 3 times the number. What is the number?

allsm [11]

x+142 =3x+64

subtract x from each side

142 = 2x+64

subtract 64 from each side

142-64 = 2x

78=2x

divide by 2

78/2 = x

x=39

The number is 39

A commonly used unit of mass in the English system is the pound-mass, abbreviated lbm, where 1 lbm = 0.454 kg. What is the densi

<h2>Density of ethyl alcohol is 56.25 lbm/ft³ </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 1 lbm = 0.454 kg

1 kg = 2.203 lbm

1 m = 3.28 ft

Density of ethyl alcohol = 9.01 x 10² kg/m³

$\texttt{Density = }\frac{9.01\times 10^2\times 2.203}{3.28^3}=56.25lbm/ft^3$

Density of ethyl alcohol = 56.25 lbm/ft³
