The product of two positive integers is 120. One number is 2 less than five times the other. Select the equation that can be use

d to find the two numbers.
x(2 - 5x) = 120

2x2 - 5x = 120

5x(x - 2) = 120

5x2 - 2x = 120

lets assume one number is x

then 2nd number will be 5x-2

so product is 120

x (5x-2) = 120

5x^2 - 2x = 120

so answer is last option

X is less than 4.
Just simplify each side and solve for the variable. 
First add 9 to both sides.
24 is greater than 6x
Then divide 6
4 is less than 6

Answer:

a = 8/29 thus: Step 1 is wrong!

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for a:

8 - a/2 = 3 (4 - 5 a)

Hint: | Put the fractions in 8 - a/2 over a common denominator.

Put each term in 8 - a/2 over the common denominator 2: 8 - a/2 = 16/2 - a/2:

16/2 - a/2 = 3 (4 - 5 a)

Hint: | Combine 16/2 - a/2 into a single fraction.

16/2 - a/2 = (16 - a)/2:

(16 - a)/2 = 3 (4 - 5 a)

Hint: | Make (16 - a)/2 = 3 (4 - 5 a) simpler by multiplying both sides by a constant.

Multiply both sides by 2:

(2 (16 - a))/2 = 2×3 (4 - 5 a)

Hint: | Cancel common terms in the numerator and denominator of (2 (16 - a))/2.

(2 (16 - a))/2 = 2/2×(16 - a) = 16 - a:

16 - a = 2×3 (4 - 5 a)

Hint: | Multiply 2 and 3 together.

2×3 = 6:

16 - a = 6 (4 - 5 a)

Hint: | Write the linear polynomial on the left hand side in standard form.

Expand out terms of the right hand side:

16 - a = 24 - 30 a

Hint: | Move terms with a to the left hand side.

Add 30 a to both sides:

30 a - a + 16 = (30 a - 30 a) + 24

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

30 a - 30 a = 0:

30 a - a + 16 = 24

Hint: | Group like terms in 30 a - a + 16.

Grouping like terms, 30 a - a + 16 = (-a + 30 a) + 16:

(-a + 30 a) + 16 = 24

Hint: | Combine like terms in 30 a - a.

30 a - a = 29 a:

29 a + 16 = 24

Hint: | Isolate terms with a to the left hand side.

Subtract 16 from both sides:

29 a + (16 - 16) = 24 - 16

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

16 - 16 = 0:

29 a = 24 - 16

Hint: | Evaluate 24 - 16.

24 - 16 = 8:

29 a = 8

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of 29 a = 8 by 29:

(29 a)/29 = 8/29

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

29/29 = 1:

Answer: a = 8/29
