First, let us restate the given conditions
c is 5 more than variable a ( c = a + 5)
c is also three less than variable a (c = a - 3)
Now, lets look at the answer choices and or given
c = a − 5
c = a + 3
Here, c is 5 less than "a"...so automatically disqualified
a = c + 5
a = 3c − 3
Here, we have to get "C" by itself in both top and bottom equation.
So,
Simplified version :
c = a - 5
Here, c is 5 less than "a"...so automatically disqualified
a = c − 5
a = 3c + 3
Here also, we have to get "C" by itself in both top and bottom equation.
So,
simplified version:
c = a + 5
Here, c is 5 more than "a"...so we continue
c = (a - 3) / 3
Here, c is 3 less than "a" <u>divided by 3</u><u /> . So, this is not correct
c = a + 5
c = a − 3
Here, c is 5 more than "A"
Also, c is 3 less than "a"
Which satisfies the given.
So, our answer is going to be the last one:
c = a + 5
c = a - 3
Answer:
-(20+z)/y = x
Step-by-step explanation:
-20=xy +z
Subtract z from each side
-20 -z = xy+z-z
-20 -z = xy
Divide each side by y
(-20 -z)/y = xy/y
Factor out a negative
-(20+z)/y = x
Answer:
Amrita's number is 6
Step-by-step explanation:
x Double the unknown number
2x Add 9
2x + 9 Divide the answer by 3
2/3x + 3 Subtract 1
2/3x + 2 Set this equal to the original number
2/3x + 2 = x
-2/3x -2/3x Subtract 2/3x from both sides
2 = 1/3x Multiply both sides by 3
6 = x
First mark a point at 4 on the y axis
Then because the slope is 3 you are going to rise three places up and one place to the right.
Use a ruler to connect the dots.
Hope this helps.
