Solve for xxx. Give an exact answer. 0.5(5−7x)=8−(4x+6)

Mathematics

Answer:

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5(5−7x)=8−(4x+6)

I do not like working with fractions so I will multiply by 2 on each side

2*0.5(5−7x)=2*8−2(4x+6)

5 -7x = 16 -2( 4x+6)

Distribute

5-7x = 16 -8x -12

Combine like terms

5-7x =4-8x

Add 8x to each side

5 -7x+8x = 4-8x+8x

5+x = 4

Subtract 5 from each side

5-5+x = 4-5

x =-1

Leena loves peanut butter. today, she ate four tablespoons of it. if there are 6 mg of vitamin e in four tablespoons of peanut b
velikii [3]
<span>First, we need to know that the current recommended daily allowance of Vitamin E is 15 milligrams. If Leena ate four tablespoons of peanut butter, thus receiving only 6 milligrams, then we can determine the percentage by first dividing 100 into 15 parts (which gives us 6.66), and then multiply that answer by 6 (6 x 6.66), which gives us precisely 40. Thus, the answer is 40 percent.</span>
