Answer:

Number = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

We are looking for our mystery "number". I will call this number N.

We can find out what our equation looks like based on what the question tells us.

"three times a number" is 3N

"added to 2" is + 2

Which so far is 3N + 2

<em>"</em>divided by the number plus 5" is ÷ {N+5}

Combined with the first two parts to give us (3N + 2) ÷ (N + 5)

"the result is eight third" So the above equation is equal to 8/3

Combining all these comments together to get the following equation

(3N + 2) ÷ (N + 5) = 8/3

Rearrange by multiplying both sides of the = by (N+5)

3N + 2 ÷ (N + 5) × (N + 5) = 8/3 × (N + 5)

Simplify

3N + 2 = 8/3 × (N + 5)

3N + 2 = 8N/3 + 40/3

Bring the N numbers to one side and the non N numbers to the other side, by subtracting 2 from both sides of the =

3N + 2 - 2 = 8N/3 + 40/3 - 2

Simplify

3N = 8N/3 + 34/3

and then subtracting 8N/3 from both sides

3N - 8N/3 = 8N/3 - 8N/3 + 34/3

Simplify

1N/3 = 34/3

Simplify for our final answer by multiplying both sides of the = by 3

1N/3 x 3 = 34/3 x 3

N = 34

Many of these steps can be skipped when solving for yourself but I wanted to be thorough

O is the midpoint of segment FG. FO=3x+17, OG=7x-15. <br><br><br> 98 points
AlladinOne [14]

O is the midpoint so both sides FO and OG need to equal each other.

3x + 17 = 7x - 15

Subtract 3x from both sides:

17 = 4x -15

Add 15 to both sides:

32 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 32/4

X = 8

Now you have the value of X, solve for the lengths:

FO = 3x +17 = 3(8) +17 = 24 +17 = 41

OG = 7x -15 = 7(8) -15 = 56-15 = 41

Total length would be 41 + 41 = 82

Answer:

Number 3 is correct.

129.19m

Step-by-step explanation:

You might be wondering how did I got 32⁰, well, that's because they are alternate angles.

Now, we're trying to find the opposite side of the triangle.

Using the laws,

we got cos32⁰=x/243.8

243.8cos32⁰=x

129.19⁰

The meaning of circumference is to find the distance around a circle or in other words perimeter by using the formula C=2πr or C=<span>πd.

On this case it is asked you to find the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 3 meters, so you will use the formula C=2</span><span>πr.

C=2</span><span>πr
C=2(3.14)(3)
C=18.84 meters

The circumference of the given circle is 18.84 meters.</span>
