Answer:

The solution is x = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given equation is,

\frac{1}{3}(x-2)=\frac{1}{5}(x+4)+2

Add fractions on right side,

\frac{1}{3}(x-2)=\frac{x+4+10}{5}

By cross multiplication,

5(x-2)=3(x+14)

By distributive property,

5x-10=3x+42

Adding 10 on both sides,

5x=3x+52

Subtract 3x on both sides,

2x=52

Divide both sides by 2,

x=26

Which is the required solution,

Last option is correct.

If you know the number of yards for a measurement, you can change that measure to meters by multiplying the number of yards by 0
guajiro [1.7K]
Question 1)

Let "y" denotes the number of yards and "m" denotes the number of meters. According to the give statement, measurement in yards can be changed to measurement in meters by multiplying the measure in yards by 0.9144.

So,

Measure in Meter = 0.9144 x Measure in Yards
m = 0.9144y

Question 2)

We are to convert 7200 yards into meters. Using the values in above equation we can write:

m = 0.9144 x 7200
m = 6583.68 meters

This means 7200 yards are equivalent to 6583.68 meters..

Question 3)

We are to convert 2500 meters to yards.
Using the value in above equation, we get:

2500=0.9144y
⇒
y = 2500/0.9144
y = 2734.03 yards

So this means 2500 meters are equivalent to 2734.03 yards.

there is 30 kilograms of 10% apple juice , how many kilograms of juice does it need to get 25% of apple juice?
Ghella [55]

Answer: 75. Hi! I learned something like this. Here is the explanation.

<h3>Step-by-step explanation: </h3><h3>So, I am not sure, but this is what I think. You would write it like this 30 kilograms equals 100%. Then, you would put the 100 percent over the 25 percent. So, it would look like this: 10% / 25% Then, you would multiply 30 times 25, because you can just multiply by 25 and not have to worry about the percent. 30 times 25 would give you 750 and then you would divide 750 divided by 10 and you would get 75.</h3><h3></h3><h3>Therefore, I think the answer is 75 kilograms of juice. </h3><h3>I hope this helps! </h3><h3></h3><h3>Sorry if this is wrong. </h3>
