Question

Write equations for the following statements. (i) If you take away 6 from 6 times y, you get 60 (ii) One fourth of a number x minus 5 gives 8​

Answer 1

Answer:

i) 6y-6 = 60

ii) x/4 - 5 = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

i) 6 times y means 6y so if we take away 6 from 6y, then the equation appears as 6y-6, again it is stated that the result is 60 if we take away 6 from 6 times y, so the equation would be 6y-6 = 60, if we solve it further we get the value of y which is 10, so now you can check the equation by putting the value of y

ii) one-fourth of a number x means

¼*x that is x/4, then we to have to minus 5 from 8 which gives 8 as result,

so, x/4 - 5= 8

again if we solve this further we get the value of x which is 52, so check your answer by putting the value of x and see if it matches with the equation
