Tip: Go step-by-step

Let the number = x

Eight times the difference between a number and seven.. = 8(x-7)

is the same as... =

the number increased by 4.. x+4

8(x-7)=x+4

Distribute

8x-56=x+4

Subtract x from both sides

7x-56=4

Add 56 to both sides

7x=60

x=60/7

2/3 of the sum of three times a number and six is 10. what is the number?
mestny [16]

9514 1404 393

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

Given the line a and b are parallel angles 1 and5 are congruent because they are
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When two lines intersect they form two pairs of opposite angles, A + C and B + D. Another word for opposite angles are vertical angles.

figure51

Vertical angles are always congruent, which means that they are equal.

Adjacent angles are angles that come out of the same vertex. Adjacent angles share a common ray and do not overlap.

figure52

The size of the angle xzy in the picture above is the sum of the angles A and B.

Two angles are said to be complementary when the sum of the two angles is 90°.

figure53

Two angles are said to be supplementary when the sum of the two angles is 180°.

figure54

If we have two parallel lines and have a third line that crosses them as in the ficture below - the crossing line is called a transversal

When a transversal intersects with two parallel lines eight angles are produced.

figure55

The eight angles will together form four pairs of corresponding angles. Angles 1 and 5 constitutes one of the pairs. Corresponding angles are congruent. All angles that have the same position with regards to the parallel lines and the transversal are corresponding pairs e.g. 3 + 7, 4 + 8 and 2 + 6.

Angles that are in the area between the parallel lines like angle 2 and 8 above are called interior angles whereas the angles that are on the outside of the two parallel lines like 1 and 6 are called exterior angles.

Angles that are on the opposite sides of the transversal are called alternate angles e.g. 1 + 8.

All angles that are either exterior angles, interior angles, alternate angles or corresponding angles are all congruent.

Example

figure56

The picture above shows two parallel lines with a transversal. The angle 6 is 65°. Is there any other angle that also measures 65°?

6 and 8 are vertical angles and are thus congruent which means angle 8 is also 65°.

6 and 2 are corresponding angles and are thus congruent which means angle 2 is 65°.

6 and 4 are alternate exterior angles and thus congruent which means angle 4 is 65°.

I need help with this Order of Operations Escape Room.
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Here are some things that could help.

Step-by-step explanation:

PEMDAS/GEMDAS

Parentheses/grouping

Exponents (x², x⁷)

Multiplication

Division

Adding

Subtracting

Example:

5²+3(12+2)+6•9

12+2 would be first, then find 5², then 6•9, then the result from 5²+3, and then add the rest of the results.
