Answer:

$\frac{1}{5}x=25$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of books in a shipment.

We are asked to write an equation for the given description.

1/5 of a shipment of books would be $\frac{1}{5}x$ .

1/5 of a shipment of books weights 25 pounds. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$\frac{1}{5}x=25$

Therefore, our required equation would be $\frac{1}{5}x=25$ .

ABCD is a parallelogram. If AB =3x+4, and CD =4x-1, find the length of AB

RSB [31]

If AB = CD, then 3x+4 is equal to 4x-1

3x + 4 = 4x - 1
Add one to both sides to cancel out.
3x + 5 = 4x
Subtract 3x from both sides to cancel out.
5 = x

Now, substitute the 5 in place of the x in the equation for AB (3x+4)

3(5) + 4
15 + 4
19

Final Answer: B) 19
