Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

1/5 × (x - 2) = 20

First step to solving the equation is

By multiplying both sides by the value of 5.

That will give,

x - 2 = 100

x = 100 + 2

= 102

Answer:

The number is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using reciprocal method

1/5(x-2)=20

We'll multiply the both sides by the reciprocal of 1/5 which is 5

(1/5)*5(x-2)= 20*5

1(x-2)= 100

X-2 = 100

X= 100+2

X = 102

But note that we multiplied the equation by 5 which is reciprocal of 1/5 as the first step.

A train has 6 identical passenger cars that are each 18 m long.
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

59m

Step-by-step explanation:

No of passenger cars in the train = 6

length of each passenger cars = 18m

total length of 6 passenger cars = 18 * 6 = 108 m

length of caboose = 10m

total length of train when caboose is included = 108 m + 10 m = 118m

_____________________________________________

Let the length of truck be X m

given that length of train is twice of length of truck = 2*X

but length of train as found above is 118 m

this implies

2X = 118

X = 118/2 = 59m

Therefore length of truck is 59m
