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$

Trisha drew a blueprint of her bedroom, shown below. Denoted by a 4 on the blueprint, her television stand's blueprint dimension

wolverine [178]

From the blue print , the dimensions of the television stand is 1 in x 2 in. so the actual dimension of the trisha's television stand can be calculated:
w = 1 in ( 2 ft / 1 in )
w = 2 ft

l = 2 in ( 2 ft / 1 in )
l = 4 ft

so the actual dimensions of the television stand is 2 ft x 4 ft

The perimeter of a rectangle is 48 centimeters. The relationship between the length, the width, and the perimeter of the rectang

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The length in centimeters is (24-x) centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, we are told that the equation linking the length, width and perimeter is as follows;

2(length) + 2(width) = 48

But in this case, we are told that the width is x centimeters

2(length) + 2(x) = 48
