Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 30 = 14 - 3x

    4x = 44

      x = 11

Let's call the unknown number x

Now let's decrease it by 30, that is x-30

Now let's write out "14 decreased by three times the number", that is 14 - 3x

The problem says these are the same, that is x - 30 = 14 - 3x

We now want to isolate, or solve for, x

Move the x to one side of the equation by adding 3x to both sides

3x + x -30 = 14 - 3x + 3x

4x -30 = 14

Now move the 30 to the right hand side by adding 30 to both sides

4x - 30 + 30 = 14 + 30

4x = 44

Now all we have to do to get x is divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 44/4

x = 11

Which rational number is one tick mark to the right of Negative 6 Over 4 on the number line below?
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The number line is missing, but as we are know that the number marked in the number line is -6/4, i will guess that the ticks are spearated by fourts (the distance between each tick is 1/4).

Now, for the number at the right of -6/4, we should add the distance for one tick, this means that the number at the right is:

-6/4 + 1/4 = -5/4.

Now i will give some other examples:

Now, if the distance between ticks is 2/4, then the number at the right will be:

-6/4 + 2/4 = -4/4 = -1

Now, if the distance between ticks is 3/4, the the number at the right will be:

-6/4 + 3/4 = -3/4.
