Solve for x:
10 (x + 2) = 5 (x + 8)
Expand out terms of the left hand side:
10 x + 20 = 5 (x + 8)
Expand out terms of the right hand side:
10 x + 20 = 5 x + 40
Subtract 5 x from both sides:
(10 x - 5 x) + 20 = (5 x - 5 x) + 40
10 x - 5 x = 5 x:
5 x + 20 = (5 x - 5 x) + 40
5 x - 5 x = 0:
5 x + 20 = 40
Subtract 20 from both sides:
5 x + (20 - 20) = 40 - 20
20 - 20 = 0:
5 x = 40 - 20
40 - 20 = 20:
5 x = 20
Divide both sides of 5 x = 20 by 5:
(5 x)/5 = 20/5
5/5 = 1:
x = 20/5
The gcd of 20 and 5 is 5, so 20/5 = (5×4)/(5×1) = 5/5×4 = 4:
Answer: x = 4
For this question you can first divide by 2:
(12÷2)/(64÷2) so you will have 6/32 and then you can divide by 2 again so you will have 3/16 and that's the simplest form :)))
i hope this is helpful
have a nice day
April mows 4/8 of an acre of grass per hour
I got this answer because I divided 45÷3 and got 15. So, I know that 15×4=60 and in minutes that equals a hour. I changed 3/8 to 4/8 since it was multiplying 4×15 instead of 3×15.
7 / 7 = 1
3 + 1 = 4
4 + 3 and 1 / 3 = 7 and 1 / 3
The answer is a it’s pretty easy
