Equation to find number:
- 3 = 
Number's value: n = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n be the unknown number.
The reciprocal basically makes the number (n in this case) a fraction. So, that being said, the reciprocal of n would be
.
The difference of three and the reciprocal of a number (
) would be
- 3.
The quotient of 20 and the number (n) would be
.
So, with this information we've gathered so far, we can come up with an equation to find what the number equals.
Equation:
- 3 = 
To find what the number equals we must solve the equation.
-9-6+12h+40=22
12h+25=22
12h=-23
h=-23/12
The simplified answer is 27m^2
$5 each car
3 hours = 12 cars
÷3 ÷3
1 hours = 4 cars
×8 ×8
8 hours = 32 cars
32 cars × $5 per car =
$160
They earned $160 in 8 hours, from washing 32 cars.
