This is One-half squared. That means you must multiply it by itself twice. This would result in 1/4 or one-fourth.
Call the number : x
(1/3)x + 5 = x-6
=> (1/3)x + 5 - (x-6) = 0
=> (1/3)x + 5 - x + 6 = 0
Group (1/3)x with -x, 5 with 6
=> [(1/3)x - x] + (5+6) = 0
=> (-2/3)x + 11 = 0
=> (-2/3)x = -11
=> x = -11 : (-2/3) = 33/2.
Recheck : 1/3 x 33/2 + 5 = 33/6 + 5 = 63/6 = 21/2
33/2 - 21/2 = 12/2 = 6 (21/2 is 6 less than 33/2, satisfied.)
Answer:
38%
Step-by-step explanation:
Change to a percent, that is
× 100% = 0.28 × 100% = 28%
Then 34% + 28% = 62% ← go by bus or car, leaving
100% - 62% = 38% walking to school
Answer:
k = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
−3 + 3k = −27
⇔ -3 + 3k +3 = -27 +3
⇔ 3k = -24
⇔ k = -8
