Answer:

92

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

As per the question,

3/4x - 18 = 1/2x + 5

(4)3/4x - (4)18 = (4)1/2x + (4)5

3x - 72 = 2x + 20

x = 92

The number is 92.

Add the two expressions.<br><br> 2x + 6 and 6x −1<br><br> Enter your answer in the box.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

8x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum is found by combining "like" terms—those that have the same arrangement of variables.

The first expression, 2x +6, has terms 2x and 6.

The second expression, 6x -1, has terms 6x and -1.

In each case, the first term listed is first-degree in the variable x. These are "like" terms, so can be added:

... 2x +6x = (2+6)x = 8x

The second term listed in each case is a constant. These are "like" terms, so can be added:

... 6 + (-1) = 5

Then the sum of the given expressions is the sum of the results from adding like terms:

... 8x + 5
