Solving $2\frac{1}{4}(4x-1)=1\frac{3}{5}(1+4x)$ we get $x=\frac{77}{52}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the problem: $2\frac{1}{4}(4x-1)=1\frac{3}{5}(1+4x)$

Solving:

$2\frac{1}{4}(4x-1)=1\frac{3}{5}(1+4x)\\\frac{9}{4}(4x-1)=\frac{8}{5}(1+4x)\\9x-\frac{9}{4}=\frac{8}{5}+\frac{32x}{5}$

Add 9/4 on both sides:

$9x-\frac{9}{4}+\frac{9}{4}=\frac{8}{5}+\frac{32x}{5}+\frac{9}{4}$

$9x=\frac{8}{5}+\frac{9}{4}+\frac{32x}{5}\\9x-\frac{32x}{5}=\frac{8}{5}+\frac{9}{4}\\\frac{9x*5-32x}{5}=\frac{8*4+9*5}{20}\\\frac{45x-32x}{5}=\frac{32+45}{20}\\\frac{13x}{5}=\frac{77}{20}\\x=\frac{77}{20}\times \frac{5}{13}\\x=\frac{77}{4*13}\\x=\frac{77}{52}$

So, Solving $2\frac{1}{4}(4x-1)=1\frac{3}{5}(1+4x)$ we get $x=\frac{77}{52}$

If you multiply two prime numbers, will the result be prime or composite?

ki77a [65]

Answer:

It can never be a prime number.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the product of the two prime numbers are divisible by those two numbers, therefore going against the definition of a prime number. For example 3 and 5 are prime numbers and their product is 15. 15 can be divided by 3 and 5 so it is not a prime number.

Hope this helps.

I need answer how to do number 3

You know that you need two already to make one hexagon. So, if you multiply, or add two four times, 2+2+2+2, you would get eight.

You estimate that there are 45 marbles in a jar. The actual amount is 82 marbles. Find the percent error. Round to the nearest t

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

45.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The original amount is 82

But the wrong amount is 45

So we will have to calculate the percentage for the error

82-45

So %error= 37/82 ×100

=3700/82

=45.121~45.1( to nearest tenth)

So the final answer is 45.1%
