Answer:
number = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
number = x
3 is added to a number = (x+3) result
3 times the number = 3x
15 less than three times the number = 3x-15
the results is 15 less than three times the number
x+3 = 3x -15
3x-x= 3+15
2x = 18
x=9
A and then A again, this is because you gotta leave the exponent by its self so you subtract 4 then the -4 gets to the other side and it leaves it with -6x = -24 then you just divide to get your answer.
In similar figures, the angle measures are the same but the side lengths are different. So in #4, x = 42. Since all the angles of a quadrilateral added up equal 360, then y is 360-90-90-42=138. For number 5, make sure you match up the sides correctly in your ratio:
. You could cross multiply to get 4x=16, and x = 4, or you could just realize that reducing 4/8 will give you 2/4 and x = 4. Going back to the idea that in similar shapes corresponding angles are the same measure, x in #6 is 63
