Answer:

6x - 4 = 32. The variable (times a number) is equal to 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

So this equation is basically asking you to formulate an equation using only the words given. For this equation, let's use a variable in place of the part where it says "times a number." When a question says that phrase, that means that they are telling you to use a variable in place of a mystery number. A variable is a letter in place of a mystery number. Knowing this, let's now solve the equation. We will use the variable x in place of our mystery number.

Four less than 6 times a number: 6x - 4 _ __.

Now we can add the equal sign and the 32: 6x - 4 = 32.

We can now solve. Add 4 to both sides of the equation to cancel out the -4:

6x - 4 = 32

    <u>+4   + 4</u>

6x  =    36

Now we divide 6 into both sides of the equation to single out the x.

<u>6x = 36</u>

6      6

36/6 = 6, so:

x = 6

I hope that this helps.

Find the value of x
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

35.8 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

a/sin A = b/sin B

24/sin x = 39/sin 71.8

sin x = (24 * sin 71.8)/39

sin x = 0.584598

x = sin^-1 0.584598

x = 35.8 deg
