Answer:

The solution yields a number equal to -136.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number, leading to the following equation:

x + 2 = 7/8 x - 15

Rearranging gives:

x - 7/8 x = -15 - 2

1/8 x = -17

x = -17 * 8 resulting in -136.

Answer:

The calculated number is -136.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Two more than a certain number is 15 less than the product of \frac{7}{8} and the number.

To find: What is that number?

Solution:

Denote the number as 'x'.

According to the statement,

Two more than this unknown number equals 15 less than the product of \frac{7}{8} and the number.

i.e. x+2=\frac{7}{8}x-15

Solving the equation leads to,

Bringing like terms together,

x-\frac{7}{8}x=-15-2

\frac{8x-7x}{8}=-17

x=-136

Thus, the required number is -136.

Unit 3 parallel and perpendicular lines Homework 2, please help quickly
Zina [3914]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that lines l and m are parallel and there is a transversal cutting through these lines.

5). (9x + 2)° = 119° [by alternate interior angles]

    9x = 117 ⇒ x = 13

6). (12x - 8)° + 104° = 180°

     12x = 180 - 96

     x = \frac{84}{12} ⇒ x = 7

7). (5x + 7) = (8x - 71) [by alternate exterior angles]

    8x - 5x = 71 + 7

    3x = 78

     x = 26

8). (4x - 7) = (7x - 61) [by corresponding angles]

    7x - 4x = -7 + 61

    3x = 54

     x = 18

9). (9x + 25) = (13x - 19) [by corresponding angles]

    13x - 9x = 25 + 19

    4x = 44

     x = 11

   (13x - 19)° + (17y + 5)° = 180° [linear pairs of angles sum to supplementary]

    (13×11) - 19 + 17y + 5 = 180

    129 + 17y = 180

    17y = 180 - 129

     y = 3

10). (3x - 29) + (8y + 17) = 180 [linear pairs of angles sum to supplementary]

     3x + 8y = 180 + 12

     3x + 8y = 192 -----(1)

     (8y + 17) = (6x - 7) [by alternate exterior angles]

     6x - 8y = 24

     3x - 4y = 12 -----(2)

     From equation (1) subtract equation (2)

     (3x + 8y) - (3x - 4y) = 192 - 12

     12y = 180

     y = 15

     Plugging into equation (1),

     3x + 8(15) = 192

     3x + 120 = 192

    x = 24

11). (3x + 49)° = (7x - 23)° [by corresponding angles]

    7x - 3x = 49 + 23

    4x = 72 ⇒ x = 18

    (11y - 1)° = (3x)° [by corresponding angles]

    11y = 3×18 + 1

     11y = 55 ⇒ y = 5

12). (5x - 38)° = (3x - 4)° [by corresponding angles]

     5x - 3x = 38 - 4

     2x = 34

     x = 17

     (7y - 20)° + (5x - 38)° + 90° = 180°

     [The angles within a triangle sum to 180°]

     7y + 5x - 58 = 90

     5x + 7y = 148

     5×17 + 7y = 148

     85 + 7y = 148

     7y = 148 - 85

     y = \frac{63}{7}=9

A certain food has a gluten ratio of 13\,\text{mg}13mg13, start text, m, g, end text of gluten per \text{L}Lstart text, L, end t
tester [3916]

Answer:

The gluten content expressed in micrograms per milliliter is 13 µg/mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take into account the details given.

The gluten content of the product is specified as 13 \frac{mg}{L}.

We now need to convert the gluten content to micrograms per milliliter.

For conversion from mg to micrograms, refer to the following facts:

1 mg equals 1000 micrograms.

1 L corresponds to 1000 milliliters.

Next, replace 1 mg = 1000 micrograms and 1 L = 1000 milliliters into the ratio provided above.

13( \frac{1000 \ micro-grams}{1000 \ milliliter} )= 13( \frac{micro-grams}{milliliter})

Consequently, the gluten ratio in micrograms per milliliter is 13 µg/mL.
