Solve the equation for x. 3/10x-1/5=-2

1 answer:

4 0

3/10x-1/5=-2

First we Add 1/5 to both sides

1/5+-2=-1.8

So our problem now becomes

3/10x1.8=-2
Now we have to divide both sides by 3/10

3/10/-2=-0.15

x=-0.15

The sum of two numbers is 95. If the larger is increased by twice the smaller, the result is 120. Find the numbers.

adelina 88 [10]

Hello!

You can make two expressions based on what you know

let x equal the larger number
let y equal the smaller number

x + y = 95
x + 2y = 120

We can use elimination to get rid of x

You can subtract the two equation to get rid of x

-y = -25

Since y is negative we can multiply both sides by -1 to make y positive

y = 25

Now we can put this into one of the other equations to find x

x + 25 = 95

subtract 95 from both sides

x = 70

The answers are 70 and 25

Hope this helps!

How do you find x for a 45-45-90 triangle

Vladimir79 [104]

In a 45 45 90 triangle, the hypotenuse equals the length of the leg multiplied by the square root of 2.
Therefore, x = 6 * square toot (2)
which equals 8.48528...

Math Need Help

crimeas [40]

Hi there! The answer is 5/6 hours (which is 50 minutes)

To find the total time Ann spent on her papers, we must add the fractions.
$\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{6} + \frac{3}{6} = \frac{5}{6}$

In the first step, we had to make the denominators the same. We need to use the LCM of the numbers 2 and 3. LCM(2,3) = 6.

In the second step we added the fractions. Remember that we only need to add the numerators (the denominator remains the same).

~ Hope this helps you!
