to triple a number that was decreased by five you subtract 5 and then multiply by three. for example if you where given 10 you would 12-5=7 -> 7*3=21
12-2n= -72n = 19n = 9.5
x - 2 = 7 + x/4 4x - 8 = 28 + x 3x = 36 x = 12
7-x=4
Call the number we are looking fornThe quotient of a number and -7 is written as n/-7 .When it say decreased by 2, the problem means we subtract 2.So now let's write the entire problem in symbols and we have:n/-7 - 2 = 10n/-7 = 12n = -84
12
Let the number be x 12-2x = -7 -2x = -7-12 -2x = -19 x = 9.5
x-5>=7 x>=12
to triple a number that was decreased by five you subtract 5 and then multiply by three. for example if you where given 10 you would 12-5=7 -> 7*3=21
n - 7 is equal to or less than 13
12-2n= -72n = 19n = 9.5
7-c
the product of -6 and a number, x, decreased by 9, is -33. what is the number?
It can be: x-7
x - 2 = 7 + x/4 4x - 8 = 28 + x 3x = 36 x = 12
Answer = 7 - 3n
7-x=4
