Answer:2

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Multiply both sides by 3:

2x + 5 = 9/2

Subtract 5 from both sides:

2x = 9/2 - 5 = 9/2 - 10/2 = 3/2

Divide both sides by :

x = 3/4

Answer:

-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

A number x is multiplied by 2, then has 3 added to it, then is divided by x+5, and the answer is 3 halves.

Or, as an equation:

\frac{2x + 3}{x + 5}  =  \frac{3}{2}

Let's cross multiply:

4(2x + 3) = 2(x + 5)

Expand:

8x + 12 = 2x + 10

Now solve:

6x + 12 = 10

6x = -2

x =  \frac{-1}{3}

So the answer is -1/3

This question is not even trying to test your arithmetic.  It's just testing
to see whether you know how to read numbers in words properly.

When you read numbers in words, the only time you ever say "and"
is for a decimal point.  There are no decimals in this question, so the
"and" is not a part of any numbers.

The question gives you two numbers. The word "and" is the marker
that's BETWEEN them.  The two numbers are 1,300 and 950 .

The first thing the question wants you to do is write the numerical
expression for all the words.  That's    (1300 - 950) / 4 .

The next thing you're supposed to do is"evaluate the expression" ...
find out what number it all boils down to.  I don't think you'll have
any trouble with that now.

Calculate the percent change in net sales from
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

8.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Well the net sales of Quarter 1 = 115 whilst the net sales of Quarter 2 = 125.

So the difference in the 2 numbers is 125-115 = 10

To find percentage change, you do 10/115 = 0.0869565217

Then, 0.0869565217 x 100 = 8.7% change to 1 decimal point.


So your percentage change is 8.7%.

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

note that 4096 = 8^{4} , then

8^{2x} = 8^{4}

Since bases on both sides are equal, both 8 , then equate the exponents

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

A square base of a pyramid has dimensions 5 yards by 5 yards. The height of one of the triangular faces is 12 yards. How can you
siniylev [52]

A square pyramid has 4 triangles and the square base.

Calculate the area of one triangle, multiply that by 4 then add the area of the base.

Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 5 x 12 = 30 square yards.

30 x 4 = 120 square yards

Area of base = 5 x 5 = 25 square yards

Total = 120 + 25 = 145 square yards.
