Answer:

-2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

first you are going to distrubute 2/5, so 2/5 times x is 2/5x and 2/5 times -2 is -4/5

next you set up the problem with those two answers which gives you:

2/5x - 4/5 = 4x

then multiply both sides of the equation by 5: 2x-4=20x

next move the constant to the right side and chnage the sign: 2x=20x+4

then combine like terms: -18x=4

after that divide both sides of the equation by -18: -2/9

so x= -2/9

Answer:

x = -2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5 (x - 2) = 4x

2/5x - 4/5 = 4x

2/5x - 4x = 4/5

2/5x - 20/5x = 4/5

- 18/5x = 4/5

- x = 4/5 / 18/5

- x = 4/5 * 5/18

- x = 4/18

x = - 4/18

x = - 2/9

Find the selling price. Original price of the telescope: $99.99 Discount: 13%
iragen [17]
There is no discount stated but I'm assuming this problem is the same problem I encountered before.

Original price of the telescope is $99.99
Discount: 13%

$99.99 * 13% = 12.9987 or 13
$99.99 - 13 = $86.99 or $87 

New selling price is $86.99 rounded up to the nearest unit $87.00

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The slope is -4.5

The slope means that Elijah's phone battery will decrease by 4.5 percent each hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation y = mx + b, m is the slope.

The coefficient in the equation B = 27 – 4.5t is -4.5. This means that -4.5 is the slope of the equation.

In the context of this problem, the slope will represent the percent that Elijah's phone battery will decrease per hour.

So, the slope means that Elijah's phone battery will decrease by 4.5 percent each hour.
