145-10x=10x-35
Add 35 to both sides.
175-10x=10x
Add 10x to both sides.
175=20x
Divide both sides by 20
8.75=x
Answer: 4x +5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
We require 2 equations with the recurring part after the decimal point.
Let x = 0.555..... → (1)
Multiply both sides by 10, then
10x = 5.555..... → (2)
Subtract (1) from (2) thus eliminating the recurring decimal
(10x - x) = (5.5555 - 0.5555 ), that is
9x = 5 ( divide both sides by 9 )
x = 
3/4 is equivalent to 75%.
To find the percentage of a fraction, you simply just divide the numerator by the denominator. 3/4=0.75, which is 75%.
<h3>Equation : x + y = 170 and y = 2x - 40</h3><h3>The weight of Bill is 70 pounds and weight of mark is 100 pounds</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let the weight of Bill be "x"
Let the weight of mark be "y"
Given that,
Mark and Bill have a combined weight of 170 pounds
Therefore,
x + y = 170 ------- eqn 1
Mark weighs 40 pounds less than twice Bill's weight
y = 2x - 40 ------- eqn 2
<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1</u></em>
x + 2x - 40 = 170
3x = 170 + 40
3x = 210
x = 70
<em><u>Substitute x = 70 in eqn 2</u></em>
y = 2(70) - 40
y = 140 - 40
y = 100
Thus weight of Bill is 70 pounds and weight of mark is 100 pounds
