One-third of a number, decreased by 36, is at most 22 find the number

x = 174, and x < 174.

Let the number be x.

Then 1/3 of the number = 1/3*x

1/3*x is decreased by 36 is the same as 1/3*x - 36

If 1/3*x - 36 is at most 22, we can write:

1/3*x - 36 is less than or equal to 22.

Therefore,

1/3*x - 36 <= 22

1/3*x - 36 = 22 (i), and 1/3*x - 36 < 22 (ii)

From (i):

1/3*x = 22 + 36 = 58, or x = 58 * 3 = 174.

From (ii):

1/3*x < 22 + 36 = 58, or x < 58 * 3 , or x < 174.

Therefore,

x = 174, and x < 174.

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x

2 and 1.

step-by-step explanation:

plug in each answer. 0 doesn't work, 1 does. so does 2. 4 doesn't:

0 = 1 is not true.

2 = 2 is true.

4 = 4 is true.

8 = 16 is not true.

hope this !
