Find a number such that 10 less than two thirds the number is one fourth the number

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ivan3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

the number is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

10 less than two thirds the number is one fourth the number

Let the unknown number be x

two third of the number is \frac{2}{3} x

10 less than two third the number becomes

\frac{2}{3}x-10

one fourth the number becomes \frac{1}{4}x

10 less than two thirds the number is one fourth the number

\frac{2}{3}x-10=\frac{1}{4}x

We need to solve for x

LCD is 3*4 = 12

Multiply the whole equation by 12

\frac{2*12}{3}x-10*12=\frac{1*12}{4}x

8x - 120 = 3x

add 120 on both sides

8x = 3x + 120

Subtract 3x on both sides

5x = 120

divide by 5 on both sides

x= 24

On average, Haley is able to read 4 5/6 Chapters in the her book each week . How many weeks will it take Haley to read 9 2/3 Cha
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

2 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

y = total number of chapters read = 9\frac{2}{3}

m = number of chapters read per week = 4\frac{5}{6}

x = number of weeks = what we're solving for

b is not needed to find this solution

9\frac{2}{3} = 4\frac{5}{6} x                            divide 4\frac{5}{6} from both sides

x = 2 weeks

A plant can manufacture 50 golf clubs per
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The correct equation is "y=30x+6147". A further explanation is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

(x1, y1) = (50, 7647)

(x2, y2) = (100, 9147)

As we know,

The slope is,

⇒ m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒     =\frac{9147-7642}{100-50}

⇒     =\frac{1500}{50}

⇒     =30

Now,

⇒ (y-y1)=m(x-x1)

On substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

⇒ y-7647=30(x-50)

⇒ y-7647=30x-1500

On adding "7647" both sides, we get

⇒ y-7647+7647=30x-1500+7647

⇒                        y=30x+6147
