Answer:
x = 8/7
Step-by-step explanation:
.2(.7x-5)+0.2=1.4(x-1.6) . . . . given
Eliminating parentheses, we have ...
0.14x -1 +0.2 = 1.4x -2.24
1.44 = 1.26x . . . . . . . add 2.24-0.14x to both sides
x = 1.44/1.26 . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
x = 8/7 . . . . . . . . . . .simplify the fraction
__
As a repeating decimal, the value of x is ...

However, the notation 1.(142857) is usually reserved for the case where the contents of parentheses are being multiplied by the factor in front. You would need to consult your instructions to see how the decimal version of the answer should be entered. (Quite often, rounding is suggested.)

The equation in the text of your question is different from the one in the picture. We have answered for the one in the picture. The text asks for the solution of a quadratic. Those two solutions are approximately 1.085 and 16.057.
<span>So the question is what are three equivalent ratios for 4/3, 12/14 and 6/9. The simplest way to get the equivalent ratio of some other ratio is to either multiply the nominator and the denominator by the same number or to divide the nominator and the denominator with the same number. I need to point out that it's not always possible to divide them and get a whole number. First: (4/3)*(2/2)=8/6, (4/3)*(3/3)=12/9 and (4/3)*(4/4)=16/12. Second: (12/14)/(2/2)=6/7, (12/14)*(2/2)=24/28 and (12/14)*(3/3)=36/42. Third: (6/9)/(3/3)=2/3, (6/9)*(2/2)=12/18 and finally (6/9)*(3/3)=18/27.</span>
The volume of a cuboid toy chest is equal to their product of the length,
width, and height.
- The correct option for the toy chest she should purchase is; <u>Only toy chest A will provide the necessary storage space</u>.
Reasons:
The dimensions of the toy chest are;
Toy chest A;
Length = 5 feet
Width = 4 feet
Height = 2 feet
Toy chest B;
Length = 4 feet
Width = 2 feet
Height = 4 feet
Volume of Toy chest A = 5 ft. × 4 ft. × 2 ft. = 40 ft.³
Volume of Toy chest B = 4 ft. × 2 ft. × 4 ft. = 32 ft.³
The volume of the toy chest Mrs. Smith needs = 35 ft.³
The toy chest Mrs. Smith should purchase is Toy chest A, that has a volume of 40 ft.³, which can store items that with a volume of 35 ft.³
The correct option is; <u>Only toy chest A will provide the necessary storage space</u>
<em>Possible question options obtained from a similar question found online are;</em>
<em>Either toy chest have the storage space needed</em>
<em>Neither has the storage space needed</em>
<em>Only toy chest A</em>
<em>Only toy chest B</em>
