Answer:

$x=\frac{7}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$10x-3-2x=4$

First, collect and rearrange the like terms.

$10x-3-2x=4$

$8x-3=4$

$8x=4+3$

Then, solve the equation:

$8x=4+3$

$8x=7$

$x=\frac{7}{8}$

So, the answer is $x=\frac{7}{8}$ . Hope my solution and explanation can help you. Thank you!

If you still cannot get the point, you can ask me anytime.

Answer:

x=7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

10x-3-2x=4

collect like term

8x-3=4

move constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

8x-3=4 into 8x=4+3

add up the number : 8x=4+3

8x=7 divide both sides of the equation by 8

x = 7/8

A castle has to be guarded 24 hours a day. Five knights are ordered to split each day’s guard duty equally. How long will each k

Kisachek [45]

I think that is 248 min in one day because 24/5 is 4.8. 4hours and 8 min. 4 times 60 is 240. 240 plus 8 is 248 this is what I think.

If I buy a stereo for $245 and this includes GST of 10%, what is the pre-GST price?

Ivan

Answer: $222.73

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

Work Shown:

x = pre-GST price

10% of x = 0.10x = tax amount

x + 0.10x = 1.10x = post-GST price = 245

1.10x = 245

x = 245/1.10

x = 222.7272 approximately

x = 222.73 is the price before tax.

------------

Check:

10% of 222.73 = 0.10*222.73 = 22.273 = 22.27

The tax amount ($22.27) is added to the pre-GST price to get

22.27+222.73 = 245

which matches the post-GST price mentioned.

The answer is confirmed.

Or another way to confirm the answer is to calculate this

1.10*222.73 = 245.003 = 245

The length of a rectangle is 6 more than twice the width. if the area is 40 cm^2, find the length and breadth of the rectangle

ra1l [238]

Answer: 3.217 & 12.434

Step-by-step explanation:

If we use w to represent the width, the length will be 6 more than 2 times w.

Hence, the length is $2w+6$ .

The area of a rectangle would be its length times its width, so let's make an equation to represent it's area.

$A=w(2w+6)$

We can also substitute 40 in for A as it's given in the question.

$40 = w(2w+6)$

Distributing w by multiplying it by both terms in the parentheses, we get

$40 = 2w^2+6w$

We can make the equation simpler by dividing both sides by 2.

$20 = w^2+3w$

Subtracting both sides by 20 will make the left-hand side 0.

$0=w^2+3w-20$

Now that we have put this quadratic equation into standard form (ax²+bx+c), we can find its solutions using the quadratic formula.

For reference, the quadratic formula is

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

In this case, a is 1, b is 3, and c is -20.

Substituting, we get

$w=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{3^2-4(1)(-20)}}{2(1)}$

$w= \frac{-3\pm\sqrt{9+80}}{2}$

$w=\frac{-3+\sqrt{89}}{2}\hspace{0.1cm}or\hspace{0.1cm}\frac{-3-\sqrt{89}}{2}$

Since the second solution results in a negative number, it cannot be the length of w.

$w=\frac{-3+\sqrt{89}}{2}\approx3.217$

The width/breadth of the rectangle is 3.217 cm.

To calculate the length, let's substitute the width into the expression for the length:

$l=2(3.217)+6$

$l=12.434$

The length of this rectangle is 12.434 cm.
