Answer:

The equation having Single variable is:

5 × (x -4)=2 x

Applying , Distributive property of multiplication with respect to Subtraction gives,

→5 x - 5×4=2 x

Subtracting , 2 x from both sides

→5 x -2 x -20= 2 x -2 x

→3 x-20=0

Adding 20, to both sides of the equation

→3 x-20+20=20

→3 x=20

$x=\frac{20}{3}$

2/5*(x-4)=2x

simplify 2/5*(x-4) to 2(x-4)/5=2x
multiply by 5             2(x-4)=10x
divide by 2                x-4=5x
subtract x                 -4=4x
divide by 4               -1=x

If h(x) = x – 7 and g(x) = x2, which expression is equivalent to (G ▪ H) (5)? (5 – 7)2 (5)2 – 7 (5)2(5 – 7) (5 – 7)x2

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

The correct answer is (5 - 7)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, start with the outermost equation g(x).

g(x) = x^2

Now put the next equation (h(x)) in for x in this equation.

(G ▪ H)(x) = (x - 7)^2

Now, put the number in for x in the equation given.

(G ▪ H)(x) = (5 - 7)^2

A scale on a blue print drawing of a house shows that 10 1010 centimeters represents 2 22 meters. What number of actual meters a

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

On Blue print 18 centimeters represents 3.6 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Scale is 10 cm = 2 m

We need to find the number of actual meters are represented by 18 1818 centimeters on the blue print.

Solution:

Now we know that;

10 cm = 2 m

so 1 cm = Number of meters in 1 cm.

By using Unitary method we get;

Number of meters in 1 cm = $\frac{2}{10}=0.2\ m$

Now we know that;

1 cm = 0.2 m

18 cm = Number of meters in 18 cm.

Again by using Unitary method we get;

Number of meters in 18 cm = $0.2\times 18 = 3.6\ m$

Hence On Blue print 18 centimeters represents 3.6 meters.
