Steps:

(x-2)=4x

Pretend that there is a one in front of x-2

1(x-2)=4x

Multiply the bracket by 1

x-2=4x

Move x to the other side .Whenever you move a number or letter the sign changes.

x-x-2=4x-x

-2=3x

Divide by 3 for -2 and 3

-2/3=3/3 x

x=-2/3

Check answer by using substitution method

(-2/3-2)=4(-2/3)

(-2/3-6/3)=-8/3

-8/3=-8/3

Answer is -2/3

A sum of $104 is divided among three friends Adam, Charlie and Max in the ratio
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

$ 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio = 3 : 4 : 6

Amount with Adam = 3x

Amount with Charlie = 4x

Amount with Max = 6x

Total amount = $104

3x + 4 x + 6x = 104

            13x = 104

               x = 104/13

x = 8

Amount with Max =  6x = 6*8 = $ 48

Amount with Adam = 3x = 3 *8 = $ 24

Amount that is more with Max than Adam = 48 - 24 = $ 24

How do I write this fraction as a decimal 14 3/5
Softa [21]

we have

14 \frac{3}{5}

This is a mixed number

we know that

A mixed number is a combination of a whole number and a fraction.

So

14 \frac{3}{5} is equal to

14 +\frac{3}{5}

where

14 is the whole number

\frac{3}{5} is the fraction

\frac{3}{5}=0.60

14 +\frac{3}{5} =14+0.60\\ \\ =14.60

therefore

the answer is

14.60
