(2/5)(x-2)=4x
multily both sides by 5/2 (2/5 times 5/2=10/10=1)
1(x-2)=20x/2
x-2=10x
minus x both sides
-2=9x
divide 9
-2/9=x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2/5(x-2)4x

Simplify: (show steps)
2/5x+-4/5=4x

Step 2: Subtract 4x form both sides.
2/5x+-4/5-4x=4x-4x

Step 3: Add 4/5 to both sides.
-18/5x+-4/5+4/5=0+4/5

Step 4: Multiply both sides by 5/-(18).

(5/-18)*(-18/5)*=(5/-18)*(4/5)



Then your answer would be      -2

A straight line that is parallel to one of the sides of a given triangle intersects its other two sides (or their extensions) an
timurjin [86]

Answer:

We know that this triangle is similar because it will have all of the same angles as the first triangle. This is because two parallel lines cut by a transversal will create the same angles. In addition, they share the final angle because we are not changing that angle. Therefore, all 3 are the same, which makes them similar triangles.

A biker rode 45 miles in 180 minutes. At what speed (in miles per hour) was the biker travelling? A. 4 B. 17 C. 9 D. 12
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

v = 15 miles / hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance covered by biker = s=45 miles

time taken by him = t=180 minutes

TO Find:

speed in miles per hour = v = ?

Solution:

As it is given that the distance covered is 45 miles

and time taken by him is 180 minutes

as one hour have 60 minutes

so time taken by rider = t = 180 /60

                                          = 3 hours

this step is done because we have to find speed in miles per hour

Now

The formula for finding the distance is

distance = speed * time

or

s = v * t

we have to find v

so dividing both sides by t

\frac{s}{t} = \frac{v*t}{t}

it becomes

v = \frac{s}{t}

Putting the values

v = \frac{45}{3}

solving it gives

v = 15 miles / hour

which is the required speed

in the given options it is not available
