One number is 6 more than another number and their sum is 2.
How would i make that an equation thought.
for example if the question was,
Jane spent $42.00 for shoes. This was $14 less than twice what she spent for a blouse. How much was the blouse?
the equation would be,
42= 14 + 2x
what would the equation be for
One number is 6 more than another number and their sum is 2.
Your question has been anwered twice, once each by two different people.
Ok your equations are...
x=6+y
x+y=2
So making a verbal statement of this you could say...
Bob went to the Quickie Mart to buy a hot dog. He has a coupon for a discount on the hot dog. The regular price for the hot dog is $6. If the sum of the price with the discount and the discount (negative) is $2, then what is the price withe the discount and what is the discount (as a negative number)?
How do I figure: 2.3 is 33 percent of what number?
To figure out what number 2.3 is 33 percent of, we can use the following equation:
2.3 = 0.33x
In this equation, "x" represents the unknown number we're trying to find.
To solve this equation, you'll want to isolate the variable "x". Here's how you do it:
1. Divide both sides of the equation by 0.33 to isolate "x":
2.3 / 0.33 = (0.33x) / 0.33
This simplifies to:
6.9696969697 ≈ x
Therefore, 2.3 is approximately 33 percent of 6.97.
