Write an expression to represent "a number plus 1/3 of the number." Explain why your expression represents the situation.

6+2=8

Step-by-step explanation:

I got this by multiplying 1/3 by 6 which equaled 2. So this means 2 is the equivalent to 1/3 of 6. You could also do whatever the number is in total (6) divided by 3 to find out how much 1/3 would be. Then you just add up the whole number and how much 1/3 of the first number is together to get your answer (8).

there are many solutions.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

4x+6=4x^2+10x−4

step 2: subtract 4x^2+10x-4 from both sides.

4x+6−(4x^2+10x−4)=4x^2+10x−4−(4x^2+10x−4)

−4x^2−6x+10=0

step 3: factor left side of equation.

−2(2x+5)(x−1)=0

step 4: set factors equal to 0.

x=-5/2 or x=1
