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

then you multiply 1 by 5, then 1 by 6, then 1 by 2 which should loo like 2650

it looks like that because for every digit you multiply by except the first you add a zero in front of it. then you add those two up which adds up to 3710 you're welcome. :}

The perimeter of a rectangle garden is 54yd. One side has a length of 15 yd. Find the area of the garden.
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

=》Area = 180 sq.yd

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter = 2l + 2b

where, we have l = 15

  • so (2×15) + 2b = 54
  • 30 + 2b = 54
  • 2b = 24
  • b = 12

now, Area = l × b = 12 × 15 = 180 sq.yd
