0.2*0.4n = 0.5n + 10

0.08n = 0.5n + 10

-0.42n = 10

n = 10/-0.42

n = -500/21

Let the number be x.

40% of the number is = (x) (\frac{40}{100} )

20% of 40% of the number is = (x)(\frac{40}{100} )(\frac{20}{100} )

= (x)(0.4)(0.2)

Given 20% of 40% of the number x is 10 greater than half the number x.

Half the number x = \frac{x}{2}

So we can write the equation as ,

(x)(0.4)(0.2) = \frac{x}{2} +10

(x)(0.08) = (0.5x)+10

(0.08x) = (0.5x) +10

Now to find x, we will have to move (0.5x) to the left side by subtracting it from both sides. We will get,

(0.08x) -(0.5x) = (0.5x) -(0.5x) +10

(0.08x) - (0.5x) = 10

(-0.42x) = 10

Now to find x we will move (-0.42) to the right side by dividing it to both sides.

\frac{(-0.42x)}{(-0.42)} = \frac{10}{(-0.42)}

x = \frac{10}{(-0.42)}

x= -\frac{(10)(100)}{42}

x=- \frac{1000}{42}

We will have to simplify 1000 and 42 by dividing the numerator and denominator by a common factor of it. 2 is a common factor of 1000 and 42.

So by dividing 1000 and 42 by 2 we will get,

x = - \frac{500}{21}

We have got the required answer here. Option A is the correct option here.

Divide 240g in the ratio 5:3:4​
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

100g : 60g : 80g

Step-by-step explanation:

5+3+4 =12 total parts

(5/12 of 240)

5/12 x 240 = 100g

3/12 x 240 = 60g

4/12 x 240 = 80g

Check:

100g + 60g + 80g = 240g

Hope this helps!

When x = -2 h (x) = |-2x-6|
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is an equation that has only one answer for y for every x. A function assigns exactly one output to each input of a specified type. It is common to name a function either f(x) or g(x) instead of y. f(2) means that we should find the value of our function when x equals 2.

so you must first find what is the x and which one is the y in the function then you will find the answer when you solve the problem
