Two sevenths of a number subtracted from two fifths of that same number is 8. find the number

1 answer:

7 0

2/7x - 2/5x = 8
multiply both sides by 35
= 10x - 14x = 280
combine 10x and 14x
= -4x = 280
divide both sides by -4
x= -70

Point m is the midpoint of ab¯¯¯¯¯ . am=2x+9, and ab=8x−50. what is the length of am¯¯¯¯¯¯ ?

iogann1982 [59]

Since m is the midpoint of ab, then the following relationship is fulfilled:
$am = \frac{ab}{2}$
Therefore, substituting values we have:
$2x+9 = \frac{8x-50}{2}$
From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:
$2x+9 = 4x-25$
$9+25 = 4x-2x$
$34 = 2x$
$x = \frac{34}{2}$
$x = 17$
Then, the value of am, is given by substituting x in the expression:
$am=2x+9$
Substituting we have:
$am=2(17)+9$
$am=34+9$
$am=43$
Answer:
the length of am is:
$am=43$

Solve x/5 - 1=7? help please !!

xxTIMURxx [149]

First, add 1 on both sides of the equation to begin to isolate x

x/5 = 8

Now, to isolate x, multiply both sides of the equation by 5/1

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

x= 7 · 5/1 = 7 · 5 = 35

x = 35
