Answer:

Children = 80 - 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total = 80

Men = x

Women = x

Required

Determine the number of children

This is calculated using:

Total = Men + Women + Children

Substitute values for Total, Men and Women

80 = x + x+ Children

80 = 2x + Children

Subtract 2x from both sides

80 - 2x = 2x -2x + Children

80 - 2x = Children

Children = 80 - 2x

20 subtracted from three times a number is 6 more than the number
kompoz [17]
<h3>20 subtracted from three times a number is 6 more than the number. Then the number is 13</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given statement is:</u></em>

20 subtracted from three times a number is 6 more than the number

We can translate the sentence into algebraic expression

Let "a" be the unknown number

Then,

20 subtracted from three times "a" is 6 more than "a"

Which means,

3a - 20 = 6 + a

3a - a = 6 + 20

2a = 26

Divide both sides by 2

a = 13

Thus the number is 13

Question 4
Archy [21]

Answer:

-36

Step-by-step explanation:

replace x with -5 and solve for the parenthesis and then take that number which would be -16 and multiply it by 9 which then would give you -144.  So then you would take -144 and divide it by 4 and your answer would be -36.
