First, you need to distribute.
5x-20= 3x+24
Then combine like terms
8x=4
then divide by 8
x=2

expeople1 [14]

If all three coloured lights blink together at 8:49 pm, they will blink together at 8:50 pm

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that the red light blinks at intervals of 4 seconds, the green at 5 seconds and the white at 6 seconds.

If all three colored lights blink together at 8:49 pm,

We have to find when will they blink together again?

First let us know, at what intervals they all together blink.

For that we have to find the lcm of 4, 5, 6.

L.C.M (4, 5, 6) = 2 x L.C.M(2, 5, 3)

As 2,3,5 are primes, we can’t take common further, so multiply all

= 2 x 2 x 5 x 3

= 4 x 15 = 60

So, after every 60 seconds = 1 minute they will blink.

Then, after 8 : 49 pm, they will blink at 8 : 49 + 1 = 8 : 50 pm.

Hence, they all blink at 8 : 50 pm.

What is 123.5 as a fraction?

Alex787 [66]

123 5/10 becuase everything on the left side of the dcimal is a whole number and everything on the right side is a fraction. The 5 is in the 10 place so the denominator would be 10 and the numerator would be 5. Your answer is 123 5/10 or simplified, 123 1/2
