So you have common denominators already so you . should be set to start fully solving for x:

add 1/4 on both sides

5x=3x-4/4 4/4=1

subtract 3x on both sides

2x=1

divide by 2 on both sides.

x=1/2

hope this helps!

rememer that you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

5x-1/4=3x-5/4

minus 3x both sides

5x-3x-1/4=3x-3x-5/4

2x-1/4=0-5/4

2x-1/4=-5/4

add 1/4 to both sides

2x+1/4-1/4=1/4-5/4

2x+0=-4/4

2x=-1

divide both sides by 2

(2x)/2=-1/2

x(2/2)=-1/2

x(1)=-1/2

x=-1/2

I need help on understanding this concept

Sedbober [7]

So the slope formula is m= (y2-y1) /
(x2-x1). You can label -2 as x1 and 11 as y1. And the other point is x2 and y2. They you just plug it in the m= (y2-y1) /
(x2-x1) formula and solve. To get a better understanding look up, how to find the slope of a line with two points. Hope it helps

Answer:

62. 84%

Step-by-step explanation:

total revenue of a company from music sales and licensing in 1999 = $14.8 billion

Foretasted total revenue of a company from music sales and licensing in 2014 = $5.5 billion

decrease in revenue of a company from music sales and licensing in 2014 from 1999 = $14.8 billion - $5.5 billion = 9.3 billion

Therefore percentage decrease in music revenue =( difference in revenue from 1999 to 2014/ revenue in 1999 ) * 100

$(9.3 \ billion/14.8 \ billion) * 100\\=> 0.6284 *100 \\=> 62.84 %\\$
