-0.5(x + 0.3) – 0.2x = 4.1

Mathematics

3 0

Answer:

x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

I always change the decimals into whole numbers by multiplying them by 10.  If you do this, it is much easier to solve.  All you do is multiply every term by 10.

the equation changes to

-5(x+3)-2x=41

-5x-15-2x=41

combine like terms

-7x-15=41

bring the 15 over to the 41

-7x=56

divide everything by 7

-x=8

change x to a positive

x=-8

1.The sum of three consecutive numbers minus 12 is 75
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The answer is

One:   28, 29, 30

Two: 75,77

Step-by-step explanation:

One

Let the three numbers be (x - 1) , x , and x + 1

(x - 1) + x + (x +1 ) - 12 =  75                Remove the brackets

x - 1 + x + x + 1 - 12 = 75                    Combine the like terms on the left

3x - 12 = 75                                       Add 12 to both sides

3x = 75 + 12

3x = 87                                              Divide by 3

x = 87/3

x = 29

Two

Let the first odd number = 2x -1

Let the second odd number = 2x + 1

2x - 1 + 2x + 1 + 18 = 170           Combine like terms on the left.

4x + 18 = 170                             Subtract 18 from both sides.

4x = 170 - 18                             Combine like terms on the right

4x = 152                                     Divide by 4

4x/4 = 152/4

x = 38

2 * 38 - 1 = 75

2 * 38 + 1 = 77

Evaluate the expression for the given value of the variable 39 +1/8n=?<br> n= -1/2
pochemuha

Answer:

<em><u>38  15/16</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

39 + 1/8n

Since the n = -1/2, replace the 'n' in the original equation with that number

39 + 1/8 (-1/2)

Multiply numerator-to-numerator and denominator-to-denominator

1/8 times -1/2 equals -1/16

(Because a positive times a negative equals a negative)

Now your complete equation is:

39 + -1/16

Add those numbers together to get <u>38  15/16</u>
