<em>2 x - 5 = 4 x - 1
combine variables and constants we get
2 x - 4 x = -1 + 5
- 2 x = 4
dividing - 2 on other side
x = 4 / - 2
x = - 2 answer...</em>

How to do the fractions

GaryK [48]

First you make the mixed numbers/fractions into improper fractions. After that, you must find the common denominator, the LCM of 9 and 6 (for the 2nd problem). After that, if you can, simplify the fraction to lowest terms, which also includes making it a mixed number/fraction.

I hope this helps! :)

a boat salesperson earns a 2.5% commission on the sale of each boat Find the commision earned on a boat that sells for 18,500

marin [14]

100% = 1.0
2.5% = 0.025

So now we know the decimal that corresponds to 2.5%, so all we have to do is multiply the price of the boat by this value in order to find the commission earned:

18 500 x 0.025 = $462.50
