Hello!

Answer: x=-9 *The answer must have negative sign*

Explanation:

First you had to do is subtract by 4 from both sides of an equation.

$4-4x-4=40-4$

Then, simplify.

$-4x=36$

Divide by -4 both sides of an equation.

$\frac{-4x}{-4}= \frac{36}{-4}$

Finally simplify.

$36/4=9$

It change positive to negative sign.

$x=-9$

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!

The rectangle is 16 inches by 25 inches. If the scale is 4 in :5 ft what is the length and width of the rectangle in feet.

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

The length and width of the rectangle are 20 feet and 31.25 feet, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the scale be $4\,in\,:\,5\,ft$ and the dimensions of the rectangle being 4 inches and 5 inches, respectively. The scale ( $r$ ), measured in inches per feet, is equivalent to the following rational number:

$r = \frac{4\,in}{5\,ft}$

We can convert each length by dividing it by scale factor. That is:

Length

$l' = \frac{16\,in}{\frac{4\,in}{5\,ft} }$

$l' = 20\,ft$

Width

$w' = \frac{25\,in}{\frac{4\,in}{5\,ft} }$

$w' = 31.25\,ft$

The length and width of the rectangle are 20 feet and 31.25 feet, respectively.

Linda needs 20 gallons of juice that has 75%fruit juice. she has a mixture that has 80% fruit juice and another mixtures that ha

suter [353]

Linda should use ...
15 gallons of 80% juice
5 gallons of 60% juice

_____
Let g represent the number of gallons of 80% juice needed. Then (20-g) is the number of gallons of 60% juice Linda will use. The amount of juice in the mixture can be written as
0.80g +0.60(20 -g) = 0.75×20
0.20g = 20(0.75 -0.60) = 20×0.15
g = 20×0.15/0.20 = 15
The amount of 80% juice needed is 15 gallons, so 5 gallons of 60% juice are needed.
