Six times a number increased by 20 is four less than eight times the number. Find the number

Greetings!

"<span>Six times a number increased by 20 is four less than eight times the number. Find the number."...

This would be, as an equation:
</span> $6x+20=8x-4$

Solve:
Add 4 and -6x to both sides.
$(6x+20)+4+(-6x)=(8x-4)+4+(-6x)$
Simplify.
$24=2x$
Divide both sides by 2.
$(24)/2=(2x)/2$
Simplify.
$12=x$
$x=12$
<span>
x=12

Hope this helps.

How can you use a right angle to dicide how to name another angle?

DanielleElmas [232]

If it is a square, subtract (90+ whatever the other angle is) from 360. If it is a triangle than add 90 plus whatever other number the other angle is then subtract it from 180. A triangle is 180 degrees, and a square is 360 degrees.

The graph below shows the average Valentine’s Day spending between 2003 and 2012

Lapatulllka [165]

The average rate of change of a graph between two intervals is given by the difference in value of the values on the graph of the two interval divided by the difference between the two intervals.

Part A.

From the graph the average Valentine's day spending in 2005 is 98 while the average Valentine's day spending in 2007 is 120.

The average rate of change in spending between 2005 and 2007 is given by

$\frac{120-98}{2007-2005} = \frac{22}{2} =\$11/year$

Part B

From the graph the average Valentine's day spending in 2004 is 100 while the average Valentine's day spending in 2010 is 103.

The average rate of change in spending between 2004 and 2010 is given by

$\frac{103-100}{2010-2004} = \frac{3}{6} =\$0.5/year$

Part C:

From the graph the average Valentine's day spending in 2009 is 102 while the average Valentine's day spending in 2010 is 103.

The average rate of change in spending between 2009 and 2010 is given by

$\frac{103-102}{2010-2009} = \$1/year$
