Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be represented by x.

Two less than three times a number is the same as six more than twice the number. This will be:

(3 × x) - 2 = (2 × x) + 6

3x - 2 = 2x + 6

Collect like terms.

3x - 2x = 6 + 2

x = 8.

The number is 8

olga_2 [115]
Okay, 
So we know how many pizzas they sold throughout the week, we add those together.
   93
   67
   78
   44
<u>  123</u>
  405

You divide "405" by the amount of numbers there are.

so "5" into "405"
5 goes into 40 8 times
now we have 5 into 5 which goes 1 time.
Our answer is a solid 81.

To check our work, we can multiply 81 by 5. 
5*1=5
5*8=40
405.

A. 81 is your answer

Answer:

1. 52 degrees 2. D

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The interior angles of a triangle add up to 180, so you can do 180 - 36 - 92 to find the third angle.

180 - 36 - 92 = 52 degrees

2. the angle XYZ has to equal the sum of the angles WXY and XWY. This means that 115 = 45 + XWY

115 - 45 = 72

XWY = D. 70 degrees

(-9a? +12a - 10)+(9a? +10)<br><br> I need help with this test
stiks02 [169]
I think the answer would just be 12a because -9a? And +9a? Would cancel out and the -10 and +10 would cancel out so all that is left is the 12a
