Triple my number add six and subtract my number twice I get my number plus three

1 answer:

8 0

Let the number be x.

Triple the number means 3x
add 6 means 3x + 6
subtract the number twice 3x + 6 - x - x
the result is the number plus 3 means that the result is x + 3

So, combining these into an equation, we get:
3x + 6 - x - x = x + 3

If we solve this equation for x, we will get:
x + 6 = x + 3
The x will cancel out and we will get : 6 = 3

Therefore, this is a false statement.

On his math test, Balavan wrote that a four-sided polygon that has at least two right angles must be a rectangle or a square. De

gregori [183]

A quadrilateral with only 2 right angles could be a trapezoid so Balavan is wrong. Denna is right because if 3 angles are right angles the the fourth angle must also be a right angle and has to be a square or rectangle.

The length of a pencil is measured with two rulers. Report the length of the pencil from each ruler with the proper number of di

Roman55 [17]

Answer

Length measured using Ruler A= 1.17 dm

Length measured using Ruler B=1.18 dm

Step by Step Explanation:

I have added the missing photograph which shows the length of pencil being measured with two rulers.

Ruler A has marking separated by 1 dm

Ruler B has marking separated by 0.1 dm

Length measured using Ruler A= 1.17 dm

(As we can see I have added the middle markers, we can see the tip of pencil is somewhere between 1 and 1.25, it is more than 1.125 but lesser than 1.25, it is somewhere around 1.2 and 1.125 dm, approximately equal to one half of 1.25 which is 1.125 with addition of one of the three halves of half of 1.125 which is 1.125+0.045 dm hence 1.17dm)

Length measured using Ruler B=1.18 dm

(we can see the tip of pencil is just before 1.2 dm, it is clear that the value is precisely 1.18 and not 1.19 dm)

Tip:Always measure one more decimal than given by the ruler when unsure about the exact value
