Answer:
<em>x = 8/3</em>
<em>Alternative form</em>
<em>x = 2 2/3, x = 2.6</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
First, simplify the equation using cross-multiplication
3x = 8
then divide both sides of the equation by 3 and there's your answer
<em>x = 8/3</em>
The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
Nate starts a lawn-mowing business. In his business, he has expenses and revenue. Nate's expenses are the cost of the lawn mower and gas, and his revenue is $25 per lawn. At what point will Nate's revenue exceed his expense?
Cost of lawn mower = $ 200
Cost of gasoline = $ 2 per lawn
Solution :
Given :
Cost of the lawn mower = $ 200
The cost of gasoline expense for one lawn = $ 2
The revenue generated for one lawn = $ 25
So let the number of lawn to be mowed = x
Therefore the total expenses = 
So, the total revenue = 
The point for which the revenue will exceed the total expenditure will be :

So at 
Thus the revenue exceeds the total expenditure after mowing 9 number of lawns.
Answer:
y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
4*y = 4y
4*4 = 16
4y+16=32
to get 4y alone, we subtract 16 from 32.
32-16 = 16
4y = 16
to get y alone, we divide 4 by 16
16/ 4 = 4
so, y = 4
First you have to multiply the numbers out of the paranthesis, with the numbers in it:
then solve :
