Solve for x: (2/5)(x-4)=2x​

Mathematics
1 answer:
NARA [144]3 years ago
8 0

Simplify brackets

2/5(x - 4) = 2x

Simplify 2/5(x - 4) to 2(x - 4)/5

2(x - 4)/5 = 2x

Multiply both sides by 5

2(x - 4) = 10x

Divide both sides by 2

x - 4 = 5x

Subtract x from both sides

-4 = 5x - x

Simplify 5x - x to 4x

-4 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

-1 = x

Switch sides

<u>x = -1</u>

Anyone ...Pls solve
expeople1 [14]
Given:
- Bought n items of product A at 1/5 rs each
- bought n items of product B at 1/4 rs each
He mixed the two items and sold each at 2/9 rs each.
He lost 3 rs in the above batch of articles.

Solution:
revenue = 2n* (2/9) rs = 4n/9 rs
cost = n/5+n/4 rs = n(1/5+1/4)
Profit = revenue-cost = 4n/9-n(1/5+1/4) = -3 rs

Solve for n
4n/9-n(1/5+1/4) = -3 
factor out n
n(4/9-1/5-1/4)=-3
n(80-36-45)/180=-3
-n/180=-3
n=3*180=540

Total number of products bought
= n+n = 540+540 = 1080

25 is what percent less than 35
mars1129 [50]
Difference between 25 and 35 = 35 -25
                                                 = 10
Then
percentage by which 25 is less than 35 =(10/35) * 100
                                                                 = (2/7) * 100
                                                                 = 200/7
                                                                 = 28.57 percent
So 25 is 28.57% less than 35.This is the only clear way of solving these kind of problems. I hope you have understood the method used to solve this problem. Hopefully you can do such type of problems without needing any help.

1.The population of the world is approximately 6200 million people. It is increasing by approximately 93 million people each yea
STALIN [3.7K]
The fraction can simplify down to \frac{93}{6200} convert it to a fraction and the yearly increase is 1.5%

2. Well on average there are 365 days in a year. Dividing 93 million by 365 will get your increase per day. 
There are 24 hours in a day, so that figure is further divided by 24.
There are also 60 minutes in an hour therefore furthermore divided by 60.
= 176 therefore true

Find the marginal profit of C(x)=5x^2, R(x)=x^3+7x+10 and find all values of x for which the marginal profit is zero.
jonny [76]
Marginal profit, P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(x) = x³ - 5x² + 7x + 10

x³ - 5x² + 7x + 10 = 0
If you solve it, you get x = -0.839 where P(x) is zero
