What is the value of x in the equation 2.5 (6x - 4) = 10 + 4 (1.5 + 0.5x)

Mathematics

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2.5(6x-4) = 10 + 4 (1.5+0.5x)

First of all we will have to solve the parenthesis

(2.5)(6x)-(2.5)(4) = 10 + (4)(1.5)+(4)(0.5x)

15x-10 = 10+6+2x

We have to isolate x so that we can find its value

15x-10 = 16+2x

15x = 16+2x+10

15x-2x = 26

13x = 26

13x/13 = 26/13

x = 2 ..

Jacky baked some biscuits.he kept 3/7 of the biscuits in container A.5/8 of the remainder in container B and rest in container C
Colt1911 [192]
Let "b" represent the number of biscuits Jacky baked.
.. container A holds (3/7)b
.. container B holds (1 -3/7)*(5/8)b = (5/14)b
.. container C holds (1 -3/7 -5/14)b = (3/14)b = 168

Then
.. b = 168/(3/14) = 784

Jacky baked 784 biscuits.
