Answer:

The number is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

[] First, let's turn all these words into something mathematical. N will equal "my number"

-><u> If you add 12 to my number</u> and then multiply the result by 3, you will get 64 more than two-thirds of my number.

-> n + 12 <u>and then multiply the result by 3</u>, you will get 64 more than two-thirds of my number.

-> 3(n + 12), you will get 64 more than <u>two-thirds of my number</u>.

-> 3(n + 12) = <u>64 more than</u> \frac{2n}{3}

-> 3(n + 12) = 64 +  \frac{2n}{3}

[] Phew, okay. Now it is something we can solve and less scary;

[Given]

3(n + 12) = 64 +  \frac{2n}{3}

[Distribute]

3n + 36 = 64 +  \frac{2n}{3}

[Multiply both sides by 3]

9n + 108 = 192 + 2n

[Subtract 108 and 2n from both sides]

7n = 84

[Divide both sides by 4]

n = 12

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)

vichka [17]
Let the number of years after 2001 be x, then
1280000 + 19500x = 1700000
19500x = 1700000 - 1280000 = 420,000
x = 420000/19500 = 22 years.
x = 22 years.

Which expression has the greatest value |-21|, |14|, |30|, |-45|
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

|-45|

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, the absolute value of a real number is the numeric value of the  number, regardless the sign, either this is positive or negative.

The absolute value function can be definied as:

  • |a|=a si a ≥0
  • |a|=-a si a <0

Using this definition, we have:

|-21| = -(-21) = 21

|14| = 14

|30| = 30

|-45| = -(-45) = 45

Therefore, the expression |-45| has the greatest value.
