Anumber decreased by 9 is equals to 6?

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

The number =  15

Discussion:

Let the number be "n". The question states that

n - 9 = 6            

as "decreased by 9" means 9 less than the number or subtract 9 from the number.  Now add 9 to both sides:

n - 9 + 9 = 6 + 9 =>

n             = 6 + 9 = 15                    

where we used (-9 +9) = 0

Thank you,

MrB

answer: get more recipes with 3 magazines for $20! i often use chicken broth instead of water. 3 tablespoons butter, divided; 1/2 cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano bring water and salt to a boil in a large saucepan; pour polenta slowly into 5 minutes to thicken; stir and taste for salt before transferring to a serving bowl.

d. $180

step-by-step explanation:

if the dimensions of the room is 9ft by 12 ft, we have the area of the floor as,

so the area of the floor is 108 square feet, converting that into square yards we get,

the cost of carpet is $15 per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 12 square yards is,

hence, the cost of carpet is $180.

assuming the dimensions of the room be,

15 ft by 12 ft

so, the area of the floor of that room is,

we can convert 180 square feet into square yards, we know that,

1 sq ft = 0.111 sq yard

so, 180 square feet is,

so the area of floor is 20 square yards.

now, the cost of carpet is 15 dollars per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 20 square yards is,

so, it will cost $300.
