Answer:
three times the sum of a number and 4, if n were to represent the unknown number, is:
3(n + 4)
18 more than a number is:
n + 18
If these two are the same, then they are equal to each other, then:
3(n + 4) = n + 18
*Do the distributive property on the left*
3n + 12 = n + 18
*Combine like terms*
2n = 6
*Divide both sides by 2*
n = 3
The number is 3.
0.4x + 3.9 = 5.78
1. Subtraction property of equality:
Subtract 3.9 from both sides of the equal sign:
0.4x = 1.88
2. division property of equality:
Divide both sides of the equal sign by 0.4:
X = 4.7
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
2a + 3(a-5) = 5, 2a + 3a+15=5, 5a=-10, a=-2, b= (-2) -5, b=-7...a=-2, b=-7
