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 REALLY NEED HELP PLEASE

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given

$\frac{s + ( - 7)}{ - 1}$

we first need to simplify the expression before we find it's value when s=-3

positive times negative=negative

so the equation becomes

$\frac{s - 7}{ - 1}$

substituting s=-3 into the equation.

$\frac{ - 3 - 7}{ - 1}$

$\frac{ - 10}{ - 1}$

=the negatives cancel out leaving

$= 10$

Length of a rectangle is four times its width. If the perimeter is 100 m, what is the area in square cm?

melisa1 [442]

Set the width to be x. Thus, the length is 4x.

The perimeter is 2(x+4x)=100, so x=10.

Plugging in x=10, you get that 4x=40.

So, the area of the rectangle is 400 $m^2$ .

Because there are 100 centimeters in a meter and you are asking for area, you must multiply by $100^2$ to get 4000000 $cm^2$ .
