Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Let the number be x
Quotient of a number & 3 : x/3
Ten less than the quotient of a number : (x/3) -10
[tex]\frac{x}{3}-10=6[/tex]
Add 10 to both sides
[tex]\frac{x}{3}-10+10=6+10\\\\\frac{x}{3}=16[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 3
[tex]\frac{x}{3}*3=16*3\\\\x=48[/tex]
2) Let the number be x
Quotient of a number & 5 : x/5
Seven plus the quotient of a number : (x/5)+7
[tex]\frac{x}{5}+7=-12\\[/tex]
Subtract 7 form both sides
[tex]\frac{x}{5}+7-7=-12-7\\\\ \frac{x}{5}=-19\\[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 5
x = -19*5
x = -95
3) Let the number be x
Difference of a number and 3 : x - 3
Eight time the difference of a number & 3: 8*(x-3)
8*(x - 3 ) = 40
Divide both sides by 8
[tex]\frac{8*(x-3)}{8}=\frac{40}{8}[/tex]
x - 3 = 5
Add 3 to both sides
x - 3 +3 = 5 +3
x = 8
4) Let x be the number
Twice a number : 2x
The difference of twice a number and 7: 2x - 7
2x - 7 = 9
Add 7 to both sides
2x - 7 + 7 = 9 + 7
2x = 16
Divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = 16/2
x = 8
