Answer:

x=\frac{51}{2}=25.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: expression  'negative 4 over 3, multiplied by x minus 6 equals negative 26'

We have to solve for x .

Consider the given expression 'negative 4 over 3, multiplied by x minus 6 equals negative 26'

Mathematically written as,

\left(-\frac{4}{3}\right)\left(x-6\right)=-26

Multiply both side b 3, we get,

\left(-\frac{4}{3}\right)\left(x-6\right)\left(-3\right)=\left(-26\right)\left(-3\right)

Simplify, we get,

4\left(x-6\right)=78

Divide both side by 4, we have,

\frac{4\left(x-6\right)}{4}=\frac{78}{4}

Simplify, we have,

x-6=\frac{39}{2}

Adding 6 both side, we have,

x-6+6=\frac{39}{2}+6

Simplify, we have,

x=\frac{51}{2}

Thus, x=\frac{51}{2}=25.5

-4/3(x - 6) = -26
-4/3x + 8 = -26
-4/3x = -26 - 8
-4/3x = - 34
x = -34 * - 3/4
x = 102/4
x = 25.5 or 25 1/2

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

a || b and a line intersecting them is their transversal.

\therefore m\angle 1=m\angle 5\\(corresponding \:\angle 's) \\\\\therefore 60 - 2x = 70 - 4x\\\\\therefore 4x - 2x = 70 - 60\\\\\therefore 2x = 10\\\\\therefore x =\frac{10}{2} \\\\\huge \orange {\boxed {\therefore x = 5}}

HELP PLEASE!!!!!! Anaya bought a sweater that was on sale. The sweater originally cost $34.50 but was purchased for $27.60. What
Elan Coil [88]

Answer: 80%. Hope this helps, please consider making me Brainliest.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage, divide the sale cost by the original cost:

27.60/34.50

Let's multiply both sides by 10 to make the operation easier:

27.6/34.5 ( I eliminated the zero's because they kind of have no use) -->

276/345, now solve:

276/345 = 0.8

0.8 = 80%

The percentage is 80%.
