Question 7 of 10<br> What is the solution to this equation

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 4(x+5) = 40 (Given)

x + 4x + 20 = 40 (Distribute the 4 into the x and 5)

5x + 20 = 40 (Add like terms)

5x = 20 (Subtract 20 on both sides)

x = 4 (Divide 5 on both sides)

Make up this problem yourself 3 divided by 1/2

Helen [10]

Answer:

3 : (1/2) = $\frac{6}{1} =6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide: 3 : $\frac{1}{2} =\frac{3}{1} *\frac{2}{1} =\frac{3 * 2}{1*1} =\frac{6}{1} =6$

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction. The first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of $\frac{1}{2}$ is $\frac{2}{1}$ ) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators.

In words - three divided by one half = six.
