Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number. The problem statement tells you ...
2/3(3x +6) = 10
2x +4 = 10 . . . . . . use the distributive property
x +2 = 5 . . . . . . . . divide by 2
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 3
The number is 3.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
The above shows an "alternative" solution method. The more usual way this might be done is ...
2(3x +6) = 30 . . . . . multiply by 3 to clear fractions
6x +12 = 30 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
6x = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
40 - 15 = 25
25/1.25=20
All you have to so is divide 1968 by 4.
1968 ÷ 4 = 496.5 = 1/4
Now multiply 496.5 by 3 = 1, 489.5 = 3/4
I hope this helps! :_
Part A: 16x=M
Part B: 16x+TY=M
Part C: 16x=580
/16 /16
x=36.25

F(g(x)) = [(-7x-8)/(x-1) - 8} / [(-7x - 8)/(x-1) + 7] =
[(-7x - 8 - 8(x-1)) / (x-1)] / [(-7x - 8 + 7(x-1)) / (x-1)] = (-15x) / (-15) = x.
g(f(x)) = [-7*(x-8)/(x+7) - 8] / [(x-8)/(x+7) - 1] =
[(-7x + 56 -8*(x+7)) / (x+7)] / [(x - 8 - (x + 7)) / (x+7)] = (-15x) / (-15) = x.
So since f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x we can conclude that f and g are inverses.
