let the number be x

by putting the word problem in equation, we get :

80/100 × x = 135/100 ×540
4/5 × x = 135/10 × 54
x = 135/10 × 54 × 5/4
x = 911.25

The difference of 8 less a number n, multiplied by twelve, is equal to 3 more than the number. Which of the following equations

makkiz [27]

Answer:

The equation that can be used to find the missing number is 96 - 12n = 3 + n

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of 8 less a number n

This is 8 - n

Multiplied by twelve

This is:

12(8 - n) = 96 - 12n

Is equal to 3 more than the number.

96 - 12n = 3 + n

The equation that can be used to find the missing number is 96 - 12n = 3 + n

What are the solutions to the equation (2x – 5)(3x – 1) = 0?

user100 [1]

Answer: $x=\frac{5}{2}, x=\frac{1}{3}$

Explanation:

The equation is:

$(2x-5)(3x-1)=0$

The term on the left consists of a product of two different factors: therefore, this product can be zero if either the first term (2x-5) or the second term (3x-1) is equal to zero.

This means that we can solve separately for the two terms:

$2x-5=0\\3x-1=0$

Solving the first equation:

$2x-5=0\\2x=5\\x=\frac{5}{2}$

Solving the second equation:

$3x-1=0\\3x=1\\x=\frac{1}{3}$
