x/3=x/8-10/1
find the common denominator which is 24
8x/24=3x/24-240/24
put the numirator in a equation
8x=3x-240
do 8x-5x
5x=-240
divide it by 5
x=-48

fourteen less than three fourths of a number is negative eight find the number
one third of a number that is 10 less than the number itself = 15Let x = the number1/3 of a number = 1/3 * x10 less than the number itself = x - 10Equation: 1/3 * x = x - 10multiply the equation by 3(1/3 * x = x - 10) 33/3 x = 3x - 30x - 3x = -30-2x = -30-2x/-2 = -30/-2x = 15
Find 3 consecutive numbers where the product of the smaller two numbers is 19 less than the square of the largest number.
The decimal fraction 0.125 can be written as 1/8 or one eighth, but it cannot be made into a mixed number, since it is less than one. The term mixed number refers to a number that is expressed as both an integer and a fraction, such as three and a third. You can't do that with an eighth.
One-third of ANY number is less than half of that number - no matter what number you pick.

SRY THE Q IS HOW CAN YOU WRITE AND SOLVE: Twenty four is three less than one-third of a number.?
The second number is 1 less than the first, the third number is 2 less than the second, the fourth number is 3 less than the third, and so on. The nth term in the sequence is given by tn = -0.5*x2 + 0.5*x + 4
(x/3)-2
You would write it as x/3 -4, where x is whatever the number is.
