Answer:

The number is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

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

"x" is 9.

So the secret number is 9.

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

3x-3 and 4x-6 are complementary angles meaning together they add up to 180°. Set them equal to each other. So you get 3x-3=4x-6 now simplify this. Now you have x=3 and there you have it! If you plug 3 into x in both equations it works! Hope this helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let one diagonal=x

other diagonal=3x

area=1/2 (x±3x)=3/2 x²=54

x²=54×3/2=81

x=9 cm

3x=3×9=27

sum of diagonals=x+3x=4x=4×9=36 cm

A small factory planned to produce a batch of men’s shirts in 8 days. But producing 10 more shirts per day than planned, they fi

a_sh-v [17]

In unit of batches over days, let r be the planned rate and R be the actual increased rate. The difference between R and r is described as 10 shirts per day.

R-r=10

Rate Time Batches

Planned r 8 1

Actual R 7 1

$\left[\begin{array}{c}r=1/8&R=1/7&R-r=HowManyBatchesInTenShirts\end{array}\right]$

$1/7-1/8$ , the number of batches equivalent to 10 shirts.

$(1/56)*Batches=10*Shirts$

OneBatch=560*Shirts

Hope This Helps!!!
