SRY THE Q IS HOW CAN YOU WRITE AND SOLVE: Twenty four is three less than one-third of a number.?
Represent the number by n. The equation is 5n - 1 = 3n +5, and the solution is n = 3.
42-15=27
If the number is 'z', then five less than twice the number is ( 2z - 5 ).
One-third of ANY number is less than half of that number - no matter what number you pick.
10n - 24 = 8n + 64 n = 44
That problem can be set up in the following equation: 2x-8=40 where 'x' represents the "number".First, add 8 to both sides to make get the x term alone. Then, divide by 2 to solve for x.The answer ends up to be 24.
Your question is incoherent.
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
Since the magnitude number is less than 1, there is no mixed number to represent 0.66
The relevant equation is n - 8 < 0
