2x -5 = 1

2x = 6

2x/2 = 6/2

x = 3

giving brainliest and if u cant read down it says: if the spinner is spun 540 times throughout the day, how many dog or cat toys

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

324/540 cats and dogs should be expected to be given away

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write the fraction of the cats on the spinner plus the dogs on the spinner.

$\frac{4}{10} + \frac{2}{10} = \frac{6}{10}$

Now, we have to make the denominator 540 but we have to make it equal so you divide.

540 ÷ 10 = 54

So, our fraction should look like this.

$\frac{x}{540}$

Now, multiply 6 × 54 = 324

$\frac{324}{540}$ is our answer

Have a great day!

2(2x +1) = 3(x-8) =<br>how do you solve this

saw5 [17]

Answer:

x=-26

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property first (both sides)

you would get

4x+2 = 3x-24

next you will subtract 3x from both sides

1x+2=-24

add 24 to both sides

1x+26=0

move 26 to the other side but since you flipped it you have to make it negative

x=-26

A number, x, multiplied by 4 is subtracted from the difference of the same number and 65

Ipatiy [6.2K]

X - 65 - 4x.
3x - 65.
I assume that you subtract x times four (a number, x, multiplied by 4) FROM the difference of x and 65 (the same number and 65).
Hope this helps!
