Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
x-5=5x-13
5x-x=-5+13
4x=8
x=8/4
x=2
180=9×w
length=9
width=20
perimeter=58
So the first thing we need to do is set up an equation (using x to represent the number). Then, we'll solve it to get the answer.
Step 1: Translate the word problem into an equation
Word problem: The sum of nine and six-tenths and a number is thirteen and two-tenths.
Equation:
+ x = 
Step 2: Isolate x by subtracting
from each side
+ x -
=
- 
Step 3: The numbers on the left cancel out, leaving x alone
x = 
Step 4: Convert the answer to decimals
x = 3.6
If a, b, c is an arithmetic sequence then a + c = 2b
a = 1/10; b = 3/20, c = 5/30
a + c = 1/10 + 5/30 = 3/30 + 5/30 = (3+5)/30 = 8/30
2b = 2 · 3/20 = 3/10 = 9/30
8/30 ≠ 9/30
If a, b, c is a geometric sequence then ac = b²
ac = 1/10 · 5/30 = 1/2 · 1/30 = 1/60
b² = (3/20)² = 9/400
1/60 ≠ 9/400
<span>Answer: Neither.</span>
Think about it like percents out of 100. 7/8 is 87.5% and 11/10 is 110%
hope this helps
