Eighty, decreased by three times a

Mathematics
1 answer:
Marina86 [1]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The number is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets write this as an equation first. We'll substitute the number for the variable <em>x</em>.

80 - 3x = 5x + 8

First, let's add 3x to both sides.

80 - 3x + 3x = 5x + 3x + 8

80 = 8x + 8

Next, let's subtract 8 from both sides.

80 - 8 = 8x + 8 - 8

72 = 8x

Finally, let's divide both sides by 8.

72/8 = 8x/8

9 = x

<em>"x" is 9.</em>

<em>So the secret number is 9.</em>

P.S.

This is my first answer to a Brainly question so please don't complain!

If the cube above has a surface area of 54cm^3, what is the volume of the cube?
Colt1911 [192]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  27 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a cube is ...

  SA = 6s²

Then the edge length is ...

  54 cm² = 6s² . . . . . please note that cm³ is not the appropriate unit for area

  9 cm² = s² . . . . . .divide by 6

  3 cm = s . . . . . . . take the square root

The volume of a cube is ...

  V = s³

  V = (3 cm)³ = 27 cm³

The volume of the cube is 27 cm³.

What is the equation of the line that passes through (4, 2) and is parallel to 3x – 2y = -6?
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

y = \frac{3}{2} x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 3x - 2y = - 6 into this form

Subtract 3x from both sides

- 2y = - 3x - 6 ( divide all terms by - 2 )

y = \frac{3}{2} x + 3 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{3}{2}

• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence

y = \frac{3}{2} x + c ← partial equation of parallel line

To find c substitute (4, 2) into the partial equation

2 = 6 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 6 = - 4

y = \frac{3}{2} x - 4 ← equation of parallel line
