Let x be the unknown number and let's set up an equation.
12x - x = 143
Now solve for x:
11x = 143
x = 13
The positive number is 13.
A. They began the Trail of Tears
The inequality would be n/6 - 3 >/ 1. First, you would add 3 to both sides, leaving you with n/6 >/ 4. After that, you would just multiply 6 by 4 to get 24 as your answer.
The large hose fills 1 pool in 9 hours written as 1/9
The small hose fills 1 pool in 18 hours, written as 1/18
Now you have 1/9 + 1/18 = 1/x ( x is the unknown time for both hoses).
rewrite 1/9 with a common denominator as 1/18:
1/9 = 2/18
Now you have 2/18 + 1/18 = 1/x
Add the left side:
2/18 + 1/18 = 3/18
Now you have 3/18 = 1/x
Cross Multiply:
3x = 18
Divide both sides by 3"
x = 18/3
X = 6
It will take both hoses 6 hours.
Answer:
All angles must add up to 180, so if you add 69+5x+2+9y-3, it is = to 180.
First we can subtract 68 cancelling out 69, 2 and -3 so it is
5x+9y = 112. I assume this is an iscoceles triangle so we already knew 9y - 3 = 69, y=8, x=8
