4x - 2 = 2x + 8
2x -2 = 8
2x = 10
x = 5
4(5)-2 = 2(5)+8
20-2 = 10+8
18 = 18

Answer:
9/10
Step-by-step explanation:
(1 1/10) - 1/5 = (1 1/10) -2/10 = 1 + (1/10 -2/10) = 1 -1/10 = 9/10
__
1.1 -0.2 = 0.9 = 9/10
Answer:
13 carnations
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming you meant 2/5 because 2.5 would mean there are more roses in the vase than there are flowers in the vase, heres how to solve this.
Understanding
Each fraction is referring to "flowers" not "remaining flowers" and as such each time we will be comparing to the total.
2/5 of the total flowers are roses. This is written in words as for every 5 flowers two are roses, which means we will multiply 2 by how many sets of five we have in 30 flowers.
(30/5) x 2 =
(6) x 2 = 12 roses
Though with fractions its written as 30/1*2/5 which is the same as (30 x 2)/5
60/5 = 12 roses
Following this logic for every 6 flowers one is a daisy.
30/1 * 1/6 = (30 x 1)/6 = 30/6 = 5 daisies
Because the rest are carnations we want to subtract the amount of daisies and roses from the total amount of flowers to find the remaining flowers.
30 - 5 - 12 = 13 carnations

Answer:
The extremes are 5 and 64.
The middle terms are 80 and 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the proportion:
5 : 80 :: 4 :64
To find:
The extreme and middle terms of the given proportion.
Solution:
The given statement is in proportion if and only if the product of extremes i.e. the numbers at both the ends is equal to the product of middle numbers.
OR
First number
Fourth number = Second number
Third number
First of all, let us check the two products.
5
64 = 320
And the second product:
80
4 = 320
The product is same therefore, the given numbers are in proportion.
The extreme terms are the first and the fourth numbers.
i.e. The extremes are 5 and 64.
The middle terms are 80 and 4.
