Are you looking for the number of cans you and your friend each collected? If yes, here is the solution:

Let x be the number of cans.

4x + 5x = 180
        9x = 180
     9x/9 = 180/9 (divide both sides of the equation by 9)
          x = 20

Now, substitute the values:
4(20) + 5(20) = 180
       80 + 100 = 180
               180 = 180

Therefore, you collected 80 cans and your friend collected 100 cans.

State whether the following is reasonable or not. Explain your answer. Josefina gave away 130% of her stamp collection.
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The statement is not reasonable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Josefina gave away 130% of her stamp collection.

We cannot give more than what we have.

lets understand it mathematically.

suppose i have x stamp.

according to question, i have to give 130% of my stamp collection

130% of x = 130/100 x = 1.3x

so, i have to given 1.3x stamp while i do have only x stamp which does not make any sense.

maximum i can give is x stamp.

x stamp in percentage of my total stamp collection which is also x will be

= x/x*100 = 100%

Thus, maximum one can give is 100% of what he has.

Thus, we can say that Josefina gave away 130% of her stamp collection is not reasonable.

4 + 2/7x = 8 what does x equal
frozen [14]
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation
you will end up with 2/7x=4
next multiply 7x by both sides
you will end up with 2=28x
next divide 28 from both sides
you will end up with x=1/14 in
fraction form. Hope this helps.
