1/5 of a number plus 3 times the number is equal to twice the number plus 42 what is the number

The term "a number" is going to be our variable, and we will use x to express that unknown number. The term "of" can also mean multiply, so

One fifth of a number = 1/5x

Three times the number = 3x

Twice the number = 2x

Now we add the other components to complete the rest of the equation:

1/5x + 3x = 2x +42

And then simplify the equation which comes down to:

x = 35

step-by-step explanation: it is d

no oblique asymptote

step-by-step explanation:

to find the oblique asymptote of f(x)

here numerator has degree 1 and denomintor degree 2

degree of numerator < degree of denominator

hence there is no oblique asymptote

when the degree of the denominator > that of the numerator, we saw that the value in the denominator got so much bigger, so quickly,   giving us a horizontal asymptote of the x-axis. or we can write

f(x) = a polynomial of x + a proper fraction.

in this case only we have oblique asymptotes but not when numerator has less degree.
