49 more than the quotient of an unknown number and 12 is 53. What is the value of the unknown number?

1 answer:

6 0

The unknown number is 48 using the equation: x ÷ 12 +49=53 subtract 49 from both sides and get x ÷ 12 = 4 multiplying by 12 on both side to get rid of the ÷12 and get the final answer of x=48.

It would be 5 2/15 as 3/5 = 9/15. 14 - 9 = 5. 9/15 - 7/15 = 2/15 so 5 2/15

One third of the candidates for a job were 25 years old or younger. two sevenths of the candidates were at least 50 years old. i

Shalnov [3]

There are three groups of people: 25 years old and younger, between 25 to 50, and 50 years old and older. Their fractions must equal to 1 because these three together form the whole.

1 = 1/3 + 2/7 + x
where x is the fraction for people ages 25 to 50 years old
x = 8/21

So, the actual number of people ages 25 to 50 years old is:

84(8/21) = 32 people

Condense the expression to the logarithm of a single quantity.

$\dfrac 12 \log_3 x - 2\log_3 (y +8)\\ \\=\log_3 x^{\tfrac 12}- \log_3(y+8)^2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;[\log_b m^n = n \log_b m]\\\\=\log_3 \left( \dfrac {x^{\tfrac 12}}{y+8)^2} \right)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;\left[\log_b \left( \dfrac mn \right) = \log_b m - \log_b n \right]$
