The quotient of a number and 3, less 8, is 16. What is the number?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The number is 72.        

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number.

We are given that the quotient of a number and 3, less 8, is 16.

Thus, we can write this in the form of equation as:

\displaystyle(x)/(3) - 8 = 16\n\n(x)/(3)-8 +8 = 16 + 8\n\n(x)/(3) = 24\n\nx = 3* 24 = 72

Thus, the number is 72.

Answer 2
Answer: The way I am reading this is 16=(x/3)-8. In that case, x=72. I hope that's the right way of interpreting this :)

Hey there!

ORIGINAL EQUATION:
10^2 * 10^4

~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~
10^2

= 10 * 10

= 100

|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|
WORKING OUT THE EQUATION:

10^4

= 10 * 10 * 10 * 10

= 100 * 100

= 10,000

~~|~~|~~|~~|~~|~~|~~|~~|~~|~~|~~|~~|~~|~~|~|
MET THE OVERALL ANSWER:
100 * 10,000

= 1,000,000

||~~||~~||~~||~~||~~||~~||~~||~~||~~||~~||~~||~~||
PROCESS OF ELIMINATION:
Option A.
10^2

= 10 * 10

= 100

Option A. is incorrect because it’s too small!
—————————————————————

Option B.
10^4

= 10 * 10 * 10 * 10

= 100 * 100

= 10,000

Option B. is also incorrect because it is too small just like Option A.
—————————————————————

Option C.
10^6

= 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10

= 100 * 100 * 100

= 10,000 * 100
= 1,000,000

Option C. is could possibly be your answer because it is equivalent to the overall answer.
—————————————————————

Option D.

100^6

= 100 * 100 * 100 * 100 * 100 * 100

= 10,000 * 10,000 * 10,000

= 100,000,000 * 10,000

= 1,000,000,000,000
Optipn D. is incorrect is also incorrect because it too big.

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle QRS has been translated to create triangle Q'R'S'. RS= R'S' = 10 units, angles Q and Q' are both 90 degrees. Which postulate below would prove the two triangles are congruent?ANSWER CHOICES:
SSS
SAS
ASA
HL

Answers

The correct answer is:

HL

Explanation:

These will both be right triangles, as angle Q and angle Q' are both 90 degrees.

Since Q and Q' are the right angles, this means that RS and R'S' are the hypotenuses of the two right triangles.

Since Q'R'S' was created by translating QRS, a corresponding leg of both triangles will be congruent; this gives us hypotenuse-leg, or HL.

Answer: the correct answer is HL
