Solve for x:
x/5 - 10 = 30
Put each term in x/5 - 10 over the common denominator 5: x/5 - 10 = x/5 - (50)/5:
x/5 - (50)/5 = 30
x/5 - (50)/5 = (x - 50)/5:
(x - 50)/5 = 30
Multiply both sides of (x - 50)/5 = 30 by 5:
(5 (x - 50))/5 = 5×30
(5 (x - 50))/5 = 5/5×(x - 50) = x - 50:
x - 50 = 5×30
5×30 = 150:
x - 50 = 150
Add 50 to both sides:
x + (50 - 50) = 50 + 150
50 - 50 = 0:
x = 150 + 50
150 + 50 = 200:
Answer: x = 200

$\frac{1}{5} *x- \frac{2}{3} *y=30

x/5 - 2*15/3=30

x/5 - 30/3 = 30

x/5 - 10 = 30

x/5 = 40

x = 40 x 5

x = 200$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is a lot of repetitive calculation, I like to let a spreadsheet do it.

Of course, the quantities are ...

bread: 12/16 loaf
onions: 4/16 pound
milk: 1/4 gallon
salt: 1/16 pound

You can enter the fractions directly in the spreadsheet (=12/16, for example), and it will do the calculation. The recipe cost is the product of recipe quantity and unit cost.

The total recipe cost and per-portion calculations should be obvious: the total is the sum of ingredient costs; the per-portion cost is that total divided by 50 portions. The spreadsheet has been set to round to 2 decimal places (cents).

Triangle abc is represented. points d and f are marked on side ab and points e and g are marked on side ac. segments de and fg a

Ghella [55]

If points d and f are on side ab and points e ang g are on side ac then line segment de and fg are parallel.

Given There is a triangle abc.

Parallel lines are those lines that do not meet at any point. If we draw a triangle abc and plot points d and f are marked on side ab and points e and g are marked on side ac then the line segment fg is parallel to de because both the line segments are drawn from the points which are on the sides opposite to each other. We have assumed a simple triangle because no description is given for the triangle.

Hence the line segment fg is parallel to de if drawn points d and f marked on ab and points e and g are marked on ac.
