Find the value for x.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Bond [772]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:  x = -13

=========================

Work Shown:

19 = 38/2

19 & 1/2 = 19 + 1/2

19 & 1/2 = 38/2 + 1/2

19 & 1/2 = (38+1)/2

19 & 1/2 = 39/2

-------

In the original equation, replace the "19 & 1/2" with "39/2" to get

(5/2)x + (1/2)x = 39/2 + (9/2)x

Each term involves a fraction with a denominator of 2. If we multiply both sides by the common denominator, then the fractions will cancel out

For example: 2*(5/2)x = (10/2)x = 5x

So after multiplying both sides by 2, you should have this new equation

5x + 1x = 39 + 9x

--------

Let's solve that latest equation for x

5x + 1x = 39 + 9x

6x = 39 + 9x

6x-9x = 39 + 9x-9x ... subtract 9x from both sides

-3x = 39

-3x/(-3) = 39/(-3) .... divide both sides by -3

x = -13

Plz help its so confusing
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

20, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume total number of students registered is n

Last week n/4 people are absent

so people present are n - n/4 = <u>3n/4</u>

Today after return of Jen  1/5 n are absent

so people present are n - n/5 = 4n/5

which is also equal to last week present people + 1 (Jen)

= 3n/4 + 1

= (3n + 4) / 4

so (3n + 4) / 4 = 4n/5

=> 3n + 4 = 4n/5 * 4

=> (3n + 4) * 5 = 16n

=> 15n + 20 = 16n

=> 20 = n

=> n = 20

So total students registered for class is 20

today no of people absent = n/5 = 20/5 = 4

Compare using &gt;,=, or &gt;.
il63 [147K]

Answer:

5 = 5

5 < 6

7 > 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The two slashes is the equal sign, comparing two numbers that are of the same value. The sign below that means "less than," and 5 is less than 6. The sign below the "less than" sign is the "greater than" sign, and in the given example, 7 is GREATER THAN 6.
