Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

2/3 x = x -20

20 =x -2/3x

1/3 x =20

60 = x.

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original number be x.

According to the question we can write as (2/3)x+20x

On rearranging x−(2/3)x=20

Now taking the L.C.M od 1 and 3 is 3

(3x−2x)/3=20

x/3=20

Again by transposing x=60

So the original number is 60

What is the correct order of steps for bisecting angle ABC? Draw a ray from point B through point F. Keeping the compass the sam
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Look to the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets arrange the steps for bisecting angle ABC

- The vertex of angle ABC is B, and its rays are BA and BC

# Step 1:

- Place the compass on point B, and swing an arc that intersects rays

 BA and BC ⇒ 5th

# Step 2:

- Place point D on the intersection of the arc on ray BA and point E on

 the intersection of the arc with ray BC ⇒ 3rd

# Step 3:

- Place the compass on point D, and draw an arc inside the angle ⇒ 6th

# Step 4:

- Keeping the compass the same distance, place the compass on

 point E, and draw an arc inside the angle ⇒ 2nd

# Step 5:

- Place point F on the intersection of the arcs created from points D

 and E ⇒ 4th

# Step 6:

- Draw a ray from point B through point F ⇒ 1st

* This ray is the bisector of the angle ABC

How many 3 digit numbers can be formed from the digits 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9 which are divisible by 5 and none of the digits is re
creativ13 [48]

Number of 3 digit numbers can be formed from the digits 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9 which are divisible by 5 and none of the digits is repeated is 20

A permutation is an act of arranging the objects or numbers in order. Combinations are the way of selecting the objects or numbers from a group of objects or collection, in such a way that the order of the objects does not matter.

Given,

The digits = 2,3,5,6,7 and 9

The number should be divisible by 5 and the digits cannot be repeated

When the unit digit of the number is either 5 or 0, then the number will be divisible by 5.

Number of possible ways to fill the unit place = 1

Number of possible ways to fill the tens place = 5

Number of possible ways to fill the hundredth place = 4

Number of three digit number can be formed =4×5×1=20

Hence, the number of 3 digit numbers can be formed from the digits 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9 which are divisible by 5 and none of the digits is repeated is 20

Equations with variables on both sides : 17-2p = 2p+5+2p
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

p = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

17 - 2p = 2p + 5 + 2p  

- 2p - 2p - 2p = 5 - 17

- 6p = - 12

p =  -12 / -6

p = 2
