Question

Set up an algebraic equation then solve. 1. When 3 is subtracted from the sum of a number and 10 the result is 2. The sum of 3 times a number and 12 is equal to 3. Find the number. 3. Three times the sum of a number and 6 is equal to 5 times the number. Find the number. 4. The width of a rectangle is 4 inches less than its length. If the perimeter measures 72 inches, find the dimensions of the rectangle. 5. The perimeter of a square is 48 inches. Find the length of each 2. Find the number. side.​

Answer 1

( x+10)-3= 2

x+10= 5

x= -5

3x+12= 3

3x= -9

x= -3

3( x+6 )= 5x

3x+ 18 = 5x

2x= 18

x =9

w= l-4 y= x-4

perimeter= 2l+ 2w

2(2x) + 2( x-4)

4x+2x-8 = 72

6x= 72+8

6x= 80

x= 13.3 width = 9.3 length = 13.3

4x=48

x = 12

each 2= 24
