Simplify brackets
2/5(x - 4) = 2x
Simplify 2/5(x - 4) to 2(x - 4)/5
2(x - 4)/5 = 2x
Multiply both sides by 5
2(x - 4) = 10x
Divide both sides by 2
x - 4 = 5x
Subtract x from both sides
-4 = 5x - x
Simplify 5x - x to 4x
-4 = 4x
Divide both sides by 4
-1 = x
Switch sides
<u>x = -1</u>

The answer would be D. 18/6. We can figure this out because in the question, it says that each shape is worth one whole. There are three shapes so that means when added, the sum is 3 and 18/6, when reduced is 3.
I hope this helped! :-)

Answer: Choice D) 3.7 * 10^6</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
Place a decimal point between the first two digits 3 and 7.
Now ask yourself how you can go from 3.7 back to the original value. Notice we can move the decimal point 6 spots to the right to go from 3.7 back to 3,700,000
Therefore, the exponent over the 10 is 6. The exponent is positive to mean we move the decimal point to the right. If we had a negative exponent, then we'd move left.
You can use a calculator to confirm that 3.7 * 10^6 = 3,700,000
--------------
Side notes:
3,700,000 = 3 million, 7 hundred thousand
3,700,000 = 3.7 million
if there are 2 parts of milk to 3 parts of syrup then it would two over three answers 1 and 3 five is not in the problem and answers 4 is an improper fraction which is greater than one so two over three is the answer
