Solve for x: (2x/3) + 10 = (x/5) + (36/5)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Reil [10]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x/3) + 10 = (x/5) + (36/5)

15*[(2x/3) + 10 = (x/5) + (36/5)]   <em>[Multiply both sides by 15 in order to convert the fractions to whole numbers]</em>

(15/3)*2x +15*10 = (15/5)x + (15/5)*36

5*2x + 150 = 3x + 3*36

10x +150 = 3x + 108

7x = -42

x = -6

===

<u>Check:</u>

Does (2x/3) + 10 = (x/5) + (36/5) work for x = -6?

(2(-6)/3) + 10 = (-6/5) + (36/5) ?

-4 + 10 = (30/5) ?

6 = 6  YES

How to calculate square root?
OLEGan [10]
To calculate the square root, you can either use the √symbol on a calculator or you can manually find it using Prime Factorization. For non-perfect squares, Prime Factorization is the way to go. 
 
The first two steps work for solving large perfect squares as well.

1. Divide your number into perfect square factors.

2. Take the square roots of your perfect square factors. 

3. If your number doesn't factor perfectly, reduce your answer to simplest terms. 

4. If needed, estimate. In some cases if you have memorized some of the square roots, you can estimate where the number would be. 
ie.  \sqrt{63}       you know that 7^2 =49 and 8^2 = 64,  so you can estimate that the \sqrt{63} would be between 7 and 8 but closer to 8.

5. <span>Alternatively, reduce your number to its lowest common factors as your first step.</span><span> Finding perfect square factors isn't necessary if you can easily determine a number's prime factors (factors that are also prime numbers).
ie.  </span>\sqrt{45}
 =  \sqrt{9*5}
 = \sqrt{3*3*5}
 =   3 \sqrt{5}

Rolling a number less than 4 on a number cube labeled 1 through 6
olga_2 [115]
Rolling a number less than 4 means that rolling a 1, 2, or 3 will satisfy the requirement. Since 3 of 6 possible outcomes will satisfy the requirement then the likelihood that it will be rolled is 3/6 times. 3/6 reduces to 1/2 or 50% chance.
