If 3/4 of a certain
number is 36, what is
2/3 of that same
number?

32

Step-by-step explanation:

if 3/4 of a number is 36 then that means we need to do 36 divided by 3 to find what 1/4 is.

36 / 3 = 12

Now that we have our base number we know that 4/4 will be 36 plus 12.

36 + 12 = 48

So we have our complete number but now we have to figure out what is 2/3 of 48. How we do this is by dividing 48 by the denometor and then multiplying that number by the numerator.

48 / 3 = 16

16 × 2 = 32

Now we know that our solution is 32.

Hope this helps, good luck with the rest of your day :)

yes the total will be same because in both of them the expression.is rearranged but their sign remains the same hence it hss just been shuffled

starting with:    

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7   

5 + x - 12 - x = 2x - 7 - x (subtract x from both sides)   

5 - 12 = x - 7 (combine and cancel x's from both sides)   

5 - 12 + 7 = x - 7 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)   

0 = x (add numbers together on both sides)       

so in order for the equation to be true, x must be 0.   

trying x = -0.5   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = -1 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7.5 = -8 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7.5 is obviously not equal to -8, the value of -0.5 for x is wrong.   

trying x = 0   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7 = -7 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7 equals -7, that demonstrates that the value of 0 for x is correct.   

trying x = 1   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-6 = -5 (did addition on both sides)       

since -6 is obviously not equal to -5, the value of 1 for x is wrong.
