Answer:

$x=\frac{14}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of 5 and a number x is 14

Product means the multiplication, multiply the number 5 and x becomes 5x

5x is 14. 5x is equal to 14

The equation becomes $5x=14$

Now we divide 5 on both sides to get 'x' alone

$5x=14$

$\frac{5x}{5} =\frac{14}{5}$

$x=\frac{14}{5}$

So the value of x is 14/5

From the given statement, we can formulate the given expression or equation:

5 x = 14

To solve, simply divide both sides by 5, so that:

5 x / 5 = 14 / 5

x = 2.8

Mustafa contributes 11% of his $67,200 annual salary to his 401(k) plan. What is his pretax income?

Juli2301 [7.4K]

11% of $67,200.
We need to keep in mind that some words and numbers here aren't important, like 401(k) plan.
So what is 11% of $67,200?

$\frac{11}{100} * $67,200
$

$11*$672$

$7392

Hope this helps!

Ray has found that his new car gets 31 miles per gallon on the highwayand 26 miles per gallon in the city. He recently drove 285

Mkey [24]

Answer:

$Highway = 155\ miles$

$City = 130\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Highway = 31mi/gallon$

$City = 26mi/gallon$

$Total\ Miles = 285$

$Total\ Gallons = 10$

Required

Determine the number of miles driven on the highway and on the city

Represent the gallons used on highway with h and on city with c.

So, we have:

$c + h = 10$ ---- gallons used

and

$31h + 26c = 285$ --- distance travelled

In the first equation, make c the subject

$c = 10 - h$

Substitute 10 - h for c in the second equation

$31h + 26c = 285$

$31h + 26(10 - h) = 285$

Open bracket

$31h + 260 - 26h = 285$

Collect like terms

$31h - 26h = 285 - 260$

$5h = 25$

Make h the subject

$h = \frac{25}{5}$

$h = 5$

Substitute 5 for h in $c = 10 - h$

$c = 10 - 5$

$c = 5$

If on the highway, he travels 31 miles per gallon, then his distance on the highway is:

$Highway = 31 * 5$

$Highway = 155\ miles$

If in the highway, he travels 26 miles per gallon, then his distance on the highway is:

$City = 26 * 5$

$City = 130\ miles$
