if you subtract 12 from my number and multiply the difference by -6 the result is -90 what is my number

Answer:

n must be 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let this number be x.  Then -6(n - 12) = -90.

Dividing both sides by -6 yields n - 12 = 15.

Add 12 to both sides.

Then n must be 27.

Check:  subtract 12 from 27; this yields 15.  Now multiply this result by -6.  The result is -90, which was expected.

What number x makes the equation 8 to the power of x = 2 correct?
Daniel [21]
<span>A linear equation in one variable has a single unknown quantity called a variable represented by a letter. Eg: ‘x’, where ‘x’ is always to the power of 1. This means there is no ‘ x² ’ or ‘ x³ ’ in the equation.The process of finding out the variable value that makes the equation true is called ‘solving’ the equation.An equation is a statement that two quantities are equivalent.For example, this linear equation:  x<span> + 1 = 4 </span>means that when we add 1 to the unknown value, ‘x’, the answer is equal to 4.To solve linear equations, you add, subtract, multiply and divide both sides of the equation by numbers and variables, so that you end up with a single variable on one side and a single number on the other side. As long as you always do the same thing to BOTH sides of the equation, and do the operations in the correct order, you will get to the solution.</span><span><span>For this example, we only need to subtract 1 from both sides of the equation in order to isolate 'x' and solve the equation:x<span> + 1 </span>-<span> 1 = 4 </span>-<span> 1</span>Now simplifying both sides we have:x<span> + 0  = 3</span>So:</span><span>x<span>  = 3</span></span></span><span>With some practice you will easily recognise what operations are required to solve an equation.Here are possible ways of solving a variety of linear equation types.<span>Example 1, Solve for ‘x’ :</span>x<span> + 1  =   </span>-31.

# [4-5{1-(4-3+1)}] of 100% equals <br><br> a) 50%<br> b)-1%<br> c)zero<br> d)100%
Nikitich [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

To solve this, we need to first evaluate the given expression. We can do that by simplifying the contents of each bracket, starting with the innermost one:

[4-5{1-(4-3+1)}]

⇒ [4 - 5{1 - (2)}]

⇒ [4 - 5{-1}]

⇒ 4 - (-5)

⇒ 4 + 5

⇒ 9

Now we can calculate what 9 out of 100 is:

9 of 100  =  \frac{9}{100}

              ⇒  9%

If you blow air into a cup of water, does the water level change?
lisabon 2012 [21]
Since you are blowing warm air, the air molecules are moving fast so it makes the water expand. By the way that's what happens to a thermometer and I think this is a science question :)
