Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first two steps are for the purpose of eliminating fractions. Doing so results in 4(2x - 5) = 9(x - 2), which is to be solved for x.

Perform the indicated multiplication, obtaining:

8x - 20 = 9x - 18.

Then combine like terms: -2 = x, or

x = -2.

To complete the formal check, substitute -2 for x in the first equation. This results in:

(1/3)(-4 - 5) = (3/4)(-2 -2), or

-3 = -3

... which is obviously true.

Answer:

$x=70$

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

$\frac{0.35}{\frac{2}{3}x } =\frac{0.45}{x-10}$

Step 2: Solve for x

Cross-multiply: $0.35(x-10)=\frac{2}{3} x \cdot 0.45$
Distribute 0.35: $0.35x - 3.5=\frac{2}{3} x \cdot 0.45$
Multiply: $0.35x - 3.5=0.3x$
Isolate x term: $-3.5=-0.05x$
Isolate x: $70=x$
Rewrite: $x=70$

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

Substitute: $\frac{0.35}{\frac{2}{3}(70) } =\frac{0.45}{70-10}$
Multiply: $\frac{0.35}{\frac{140}{3} } =\frac{0.45}{70-10}$
Subtract: $\frac{0.35}{\frac{140}{3} } =\frac{0.45}{60}$
Evaluate: $0.0075=0.0075$
