Answer: No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

The red line is y=3x+7 and the blue line is y=3x+2

The lines do not intersect at any time. Therefore, this set of equations has no solution. I hope this helps! Pls mark brainliest!! :)

4 - 5/2 * (1/10x) = 1 what is the value of x

Inga [223]

$4 - 5 / 2 * (1/10x) = 1\\$

The first step is to identify the order in which the equation must be solved, by following PEMDAS (you might know it as BEDMAS):

Parenthesis (or Brackets)

Exponents

Multiplication and Division

Addition and Subtraction

My advice would be to add parenthesis, following these rules, if you are not very good at finding them immediately by sight.

So:

$4 - 5 / 2 * (\frac{1}{10x}) = 1\\\\4 - [(5/2)*(\frac{1}{10x})]=1\\\\4-(2.5*\frac{1}{10x})=1\\\\4-\frac{2.5}{10x}-1=0\\3-\frac{x}{4}=0\\\frac{x}{4}=3\\x=3*4\\x=12$

We check our answer:

$x=12\\4 - [(5 / 2) * (1/10)*(x)] = 1\\4 - [(5 / 2) * (\frac{1}{10}) * (12))] = 1\\4 - [2.5 * (\frac{1}{10})*12] = 1\\4 - [(\frac{2.5}{10})*12] = 1\\4 - [(\frac{1}{4})*12] = 1\\4 - 3 = 1\\1=1$

We are right!

So, $x=12$ .
