Answer:

Hey there!

2x-5y=10

Add 5y on both sides to get: 2x=10+5y

Divide by 2, not 2x. This will isolate the x.

x=5+2.5y

x=2.5y+5

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

x = 5 + 5y/2

Step-by-step explanation:

When you get to 2x = 10 + 5y,

you should divide both sides with 2 only instead of 2x. Because if you divide 2x on both sides, the left side would only remain 1 (since 2x/2x = 1)

2x = 10 + 5y

x = (10 + 5y) / 2

x = 10/2 + 5y/2

x = 5 + 5y/2 .( or 5 + (5/2)y)

Explain how to solve 4|3x-1|+1=8

denis-greek [22]

4|3x - 1| + 1 = 8

4|3x - 1| = 8 - 1

4|3x - 1| = 7

|3x - 1| = 7/4

Now lets think, we have 3x - 1 in module, so either its 7/4 or -7/4, we will have 7/4 at the end because of it, so we may have 2 solutions in this case:

3x - 1 = 7/4

and

3x - 1 = -7/4

So let's see:

3x - 1 = 7/4

3x = 7/4 + 1

3x = 11/4

x = 11/12

3x - 1 = -7/4

3x = -7/4 + 1

3x = -3/4

x = -1/4

So we have two possible answers, x = 11/2 and x = -1/4

Please answer this (:

Since we know that there is a 1 in 12 chance that the spinners will land on "4" and "C" and we know the total amount of spins is 240, we can find one twelfth of 240. To do so, you multiply 240 by 1/12 which is the same as 240/12. This can be simplified to 20 through division. Therefore, the answer is 20 times.

I hope this helps.<span />
