What is the solution of 2x/5−x/2=40 ?

1 answer:

7 0

2x/5 - X/2 = 40
LCD = 10

2•(2x/5) - 5•(X/2) = 40
4x/10 - 5x/10 = 40
4x-5x/10 = 40
-X/10 = 40
10•(-X/10) = 40 • 10
-X = 400
-X/-1 = 400/-1
X = -400.

I believe the solution is that X = -400.

Answer:

xy = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression to be evaluated is:

$2\cdot x +4\cdot x + 8\cdot y + 16\cdot y = 42$

$6\cdot x + 24\cdot y = 42$

By some algebraic handling:

$6\cdot (x + 4\cdot y) = 42$

Where:

$x+4\cdot y = 7$

There is one possible solution:

x = 3, y = 1

And consequently,

xy = 3

Which statement is true?

Lelu [443]

Answer:

The statement that is true is:

A debt of $17 is a larger value than a debt of $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us look at the statements one after the other to determine if they are true or not:

1) A debt of $17 is a larger value than a debt of $20: This is true because when measuring debts, we will consider the values in the negative sense (-). Therefore, a debt of $17 has a value of (-17) and a debt of $20 has a value of (-20). -17 is larger than - 20 on a number line, hence, a debt of $17 has a larger value for the debtor, than a debt of 20$

2) One half an apple is equivalent to 8 fourths apples:

one half an apple = $\frac{1}{2}\ of\ an\ apple$

8 fourths of an apple = $\frac{8}{4} = \frac{2}{1}\ of\ and\ apple$ . Therefore, one half of an apple is not equivalent to 8 fourth of an apple.

3) 8.01 is a smaller increase in sales than 8.001: This statement is false because 8.001 is counted before 8.01, and the difference between 8.01 and 8.001 is:

8.01 - 8.001 = +0.009, hence, 8.01 is larger than 8.01 by a magnitude of 0.009

4) $\frac{2}{3}\ below\ zero$ is a lower temperature than 6 below zero:
