Six less than a number is four more than one-third of the number. Find the number.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x - 6 = 1/3x + 4

x = 15

Hope this helps :)

Hope this helps :)Explanation and Check part below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Get the variable on one side by subtracting x.

x - 6 = 1/3x + 4

- 1 x - 1 x

- 6 = - 2/3x + 4

2. Subtract 4 which is the inverse operation of addition.

- 6 = - 2/3x + 4

- 4 - 4

- 10 = - 2/3x

3. Divide by - 2/3 which is the invers eoperation of multiplication.

- 10 = - 2/3x

- 2/3 - 2/3

(Keep,Change,Change - KCC method)

- 10 ÷ - 2/3 = - 10 × - 3/2 = 30/2 = 15

- 10 = - 2/3x

- 2/3 - 2/3

15 = x → x = 15

Check:

15 - 6 = 1/3(15) + 4

9 = 15/3 + 4

9 = 5 + 4

9 = 9

True statement.

what’s the value of x?

Answers

Applying the segment addition postulate:

x = 2.75

AB = 6x = 6(2.75) = 16.5 units

BC = 8x + 1/4 = 8(2.75) + 1/4 = 22.25 units.

What is the Segment Addition Postulate?

Based on the segment addition postulate, since B lies between points A and C on a line segment, then:

AB + BC = AC

AC = 38 3/4

AB = 6x

BC = 8x + 1/4

Substitute

6x + 8x + 1/4 = 38 3/4 [segment addition postulate]

14x + 1/4 = 155/4

14x = 155/4 - 1/4

14x = (155 - 1)/4

14x = 154/4

14x × 4 = 154

56x = 154

x = 154/56

x = 2.75

AB = 6x = 6(2.75) = 16.5 units

BC = 8x + 1/4 = 8(2.75) + 1/4 = 22.25 units.

Congruent segments are LK=MK, LK=7x-10, KN=x+3, MN=9x-11, and KJ=28,  the LJ  will be-

LJ = 18 + 28 = 46

LJ = 18 + 28 = 46

These are  Congruent segments

Let J, K, L, M, N are points on the same line.

MK = MN + (-KN) = MN - KN = 9x - 11 - x - 3 = 8x - 14

As LK = MK and LK = 7x - 10, then

7x - 10 = 8x - 14

8x - 7x = -10 + 14

x = 4

LJ = MK + KJ

If three or more points lie on a single straight line, they are said to be collinear. An axis is a term used to describe a line on which points are located, particularly if that line is connected to a triangle or other geometric shape.

Answers

Using a system of equations, it is found that she invested 318.71 into Fund B.

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

For this problem, the variables are given as follows:

Variable x: Amount invested in Fund A.Variable y: Amount invested in Fund B.

The amount she invested in Fund A was 3 times as much as the amount she invested in Fund B, hence:

x = 3y.

Fund A returned a 6% profit and Fund B returned a 15% profit, and the total profit was of 1380, hence:

1.06x + 1.15y = 1380.

We have that x = 3y, hence:

1.06(3y) + 1.15y = 1380.

4.33y = 1380

y = 1380/4.33

y = 318.71.

Thomas bought 12 glass and plastic cups from the store

Glass cups costs $3.25

Plastic cups cost $2.75

He spent a total of $36

Let g represent the number of glass cups and p represent the number of plastic cups

g + p= 12.........equation 1

3.25g + 2.75p= 36..........equation 2

From equation 1

g+p= 12

g= 12-p2

Substitute 12-p for g in equation 2

3.25(12-p)+2.75p = 36

39-3.25p+2.75p= 36

39-0.5p= 36

-0.5p= 36-39

-0.5p= -3

p= -3/-0.5

Yesterday, there were 1360 downloads of the song, for a total download size of 4532 MB. How many downloads of the high-quality version were there?

Answers

The number of standard version download and high-quality download is 870 and 490 respectively.

Number of downloads of the high-quality version

let

Number of high-quality download = yNumber of standard version = x

x + y = 1360

2.9x + 4.1y = 4532

From (1)

x = 1360 - y

Substitute x = 1360 - y into (2)

2.9x + 4.1y = 4532

2.9(1360 - y) + 4.1y = 4532

3944 - 2.9y + 4.1y = 4532

- 2.9y + 4.1y = 4532 - 3944

1.2y = 588

y = 588/1.2

y = 490

Substitute y = 490 into (1)

x + y = 1360

x + 490 = 1360

x = 1360 - 490

x = 870

So therefore, number of standard version download and high-quality download is 870 and 490 respectively.
