The simpliest way to do this is to turn both fractions into decimals
7/10 goes to 0.7 and 2/5 goes to 0.4
then the equation would be 0.7x + 20 = 0.4
hope I've helped!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>
- m∠ABC = x°
- m∠BCD = 25°
- m∠CDE = 55°
- m∠DEF = 3x°
Add two more parallel lines passing through points C and D.
Consider alternate interior angles formed by the four parallel lines.
<u>The angles between the two middle lines are equal to:</u>
- m∠BCD - m∠ABC = m∠CDE - m∠DEF
<u>Substitute values and solve for x:</u>
- 25 - x = 55 - 3x
- 3x - x = 55 - 25
- 2x = 30
- x = 15
m∠ABC = 15°
Remember you can' do anything to boht sides, but when times negative, flip sign
distributive property
a(b+c)=ab+ac
distribute the -4
-8+4x
now we have
2x<8-8+4x
2x<4x
minus 2x both sides
0<2x
therefor
0<x
answer is x>0
Answer:
130 calories in the ice cream and 500 calories in the pie.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount of calories in the scoop of ice cream be x. the amount of calories in the piece of pie be 3x-20. we know that x+3x-20=500.
4x-20=500
If we add twenty to both sides, we end up with:
4x=520
Divide both sides by four, and you get x=130.
there are 130 calories in the scoop of ice cream and 130*4-20=500 calories in the pie.
I'm assuming this is a yearly interest.
2500*.04=100
7500*.05=375
so that would be $475 earned from interest
