ANSWER: -144
Let x = the number
Equation:
72 + x = 2/3 (x)
x - 2x/3 = -72
(3x - 2x)/3 = -72
x/3 = -72
x = 3 * -72
x = -216
Check:
72 + x = 2/3 (x)
72 +(-216) = 2(-216)/3
72 - 216 = -432/3
-144 = -144
To express "two thirds of a number is no more than negative ten" mathematically, you can use the variable ( x ) to represent the number. The inequality would be written as ( \frac{2}{3}x \leq -10 ). This indicates that when you take two thirds of ( x ), the result must be less than or equal to negative ten.
Yes, that's quite correct.Two thirds is four thirds less than two wholes,and two thirds is one sixth more than a half.
No, it is not a prime number. It can be divided by more than one and itself.
no but two thirds is more than five sixth
A prime number has exactly two factors, 1 and the number itself. A composite number has more factors than 1 and itself.

yes by two thirds
Yes, that's quite correct.Two thirds is four thirds less than two wholes,and two thirds is one sixth more than a half.
Yes, two thirds is more than a half but not by a lot.
Every number greater than 1 has 1 and the number itself as factors. If it has no other factors besides these two factors, it is a prime number. If it has more factors than 1 and itself, it is a composite number.

composite
A prime number has exactly two factors, 1 and the number itself. A composite number has more factors than 1 and itself.
A prime number is a number that is divisible only by 1 and itself; it has no other factors. A composite number is a number that is divisible by more than two numbers - more than 1 and itself. The only factors of 211 are 1 and itself. Therefore, it is a prime number.
negative 2
A composite number.
