4/5n – 1/5 = 2/5n
Add 1/5 to both sides
4/5n = 2/5n + 1/5
Subtract 2/5n from both sides
2/5n = 1/5
Divide both sides by 2/5
n = 1/2

Answer:
- 160 yd³ must be hauled
- $520 is the cost
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 3 feet in a yard, so the volume of the hole is ...
(45 ft)/(3 ft/yd) × (16 ft)/(3 ft/yd) × (6 ft)/(3 ft/yd)
= (15 × 16/3 × 2) yd³ = 160 yd³ . . . volume to be hauled
__
The cost is $13/(4 yd³), so the total cost will be ...
($13/(4 yd³)) × 160 yd³ = $520 . . . cost of hauling
25 pounds because 20 pounds is 100% so 10 is 50% and 5mis 25%
1st: 5x-20+2x (distribute the 5 to the numbers in the parenthesis) distribution property
2nd: 7x-20 (add like terms aka 5x and 2x) I believe commutative property of addition
Finished!
