can you times 83 and 1.3 by the same number separately so they add up to 4
Yes, I can help you with that!
Let's call the common number that you multiply to both 83 and 1.3 as 'x'.
So, the equation would be:
83x + 1.3x = 4
Combining the like terms:
84.3x = 4
To isolate 'x', divide both sides of the equation by 84.3:
x = 4/84.3
Calculating the value of 'x':
x ≈ 0.0475
Therefore, you can multiply 83 by approximately 0.0475:
83 * 0.0475 ≈ 3.93875
And you can multiply 1.3 by approximately 0.0475:
1.3 * 0.0475 ≈ 0.06175
When you add these two values, they will sum up to approximately 4:
3.93875 + 0.06175 ≈ 3.9995 (which is close to 4)
Yes, I can help you with that. Let's call the number we need to multiply 83 by as 'x'.
We want the sum of multiplying 83 by 'x' and multiplying 1.3 by 'x' to be equal to 4. So we can set up the equation:
83x + 1.3x = 4
Combining the like terms:
84.3x = 4
To solve for 'x', we divide both sides of the equation by 84.3:
x = 4 / 84.3
Using a calculator to evaluate the division, we find:
x ≈ 0.047498
So, if you multiply 83 by approximately 0.047498, and multiply 1.3 by the same number, their sum will be approximately equal to 4.
To find a common number that, when multiplied separately with 83 and 1.3, results in a sum of 4, we can set up the following equation:
x * 83 + x * 1.3 = 4
Here, 'x' represents the common number we are trying to find.
Simplifying the equation, we get:
83x + 1.3x = 4
Combining like terms:
84.3x = 4
Now, solve for 'x' by dividing both sides of the equation by 84.3:
x = 4 / 84.3
Using a calculator:
x ≈ 0.04747
So, multiplying 83 by approximately 0.04747 and multiplying 1.3 by approximately 0.04747 separately will result in a sum close to 4.
