Complete question:

<em>Write the verbal statement as an equation using x as a variable. Then solve. 2 more than 3 times a number is 17. </em>

<em />

The required expression is 3x + 2 = 17 and the value of x is 5

Let the unknown number be x

3 times a number is expressed as 3x
2 more than3 times the number is 3x + 2

If the result is equivalent to 17, the required expression will be 3x + 2 = 17

Solve the resulting expression:

3x + 2 = 17

3x = 17 - 2

3x = 15

x = 15/3

x = 5

Hence the required expression is 3x + 2 = 17 and the value of x is 5

Answer: Step 1: Reverse the signs of $6x^3-2x + 3$ expression.

Step 2: Removing parenthesis

Step 3: Grouping like terms

Step 4: Combing like terms

Step 5: Writing the final expression in standard form

Step-by-step explanation: First expression : $6x^3-2x + 3$

Second expression : $-3x^3+5x^2+4x-7$ .

We need to subtract $6x^3-2x + 3$ from $-3x^3+5x^2+4x-7$ .

Step 1: Reverse the signs of $6x^3-2x + 3$ expression.

$(-3x^3+5x^2+4x-7)+(-6x3+2x-3)$

Step 2: Removing parenthesis

$(-3x^3) +5x^2+4x + (-7) + (-6x^3) + 2x + (-3)$

Step 3: Grouping like terms

$[-3x^3) + (-6x^3)] + [4x + 2x] + [(-7) + (-3)] + [5x^2]$

Step 4: Combing like terms

$-9x^3 + 6x + (-10) + 5x^2$

Step 5: Writing the final expression in standard form

$-9x^3 + 5x^2 + 6x-10$

A clock was reading the time accurately on Friday at noon. On Monday at 6pm the clock was running late by 468 seconds. On averag

Setler [38]

The clock was skipping 3 seconds every 30 minutes from Friday noon to Monday 6 pm.

The clock was still accurate by Friday noon. The clock was late by 468 seconds by Monday, 6 pm.

To solve the problem, we must:

Know how many 30-minutes have passed during the time period.

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes = 2 × (30 minutes)

1 day = 24 hours × 2 × (30 minutes)

1 day = 48 × (30 minutes)

Thus, there are 48, 30-minutes in a day. On Friday, however, we start counting at noon, which is half of the day. Moreover, on Monday, the mark is only up to 6 pm, which is three-fourths of the day.

Friday = 48 × $\frac{1}{2}$ = 24

Saturday = 48

Sunday = 48

Monday = 48 × $\frac{3}{4}$ = 36

TOTAL = 24 + 48 + 48 + 36 = 156

Therefore, the total number of 30-minutes that have passed is 156. There were 156, 30-minutes that passed during the time period.

Divide the number of total seconds late by the number of 30-minutes passed.

That is, the number of total seconds late= 468 seconds ÷ 156

= 3 seconds

Therefore, the clock was skipping 3 seconds every 30 minutes from Friday noon to Monday 6 pm.
