Answer:

x=  3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x−2(x+1)= 1 /4

5x+(−2)(x)+(−2)(1)= 1 /4

(Distribute)

5x+−2x+−2= 1 /4

(5x+−2x)+(−2)= 1 /4

(Combine Like Terms)

3x+−2= 1 /4

3x−2=1 /4

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

3x−2+2= 1 /4 +2

3x= 9 /4

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3x/ 3 = 9 /4 /3

x= 3 /4

5x-2(x+1)=1/4
5x-2x-2=1/4
3x-2=1/4
3x=2 1/4
3x=9/4
3x/3=(9/4)/3
x=(9/4)(1/3)
x=9/12
x=3/4

What is the solution for C when 10 C minus f equals -13 + c d
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

C would be equal to (f - 13)/(10 - d)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, you must manipulate the equation so that the left side has every term with a c in it. Then you can isolate it by dividing and find what it is equal to.

10c - f = -13 + cd -----> Add f to both sides

10c = f - 13 + cd -----> Subtract cd from both sides

10c - cd = f - 13 ------> Pull out c

c(10 - d) = f - 13 -----> Divide by (10 - d)

c = (f - 13)/(10 - d)

For tournament 50 people are put int teams 35 people are picked to play rugby and 15 are picked to play football what percentage
kvasek [131]

Answer: 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of people involved in the tournament= 50

Number of people chosen to play rugby= 35

Number of people chosen to play football= 15

To get the percentage of people that are chosen to play football, we divide the number of people chosen to play football by the total number of people chosen for the tournament and then multiply the answer by 100. This will be:

= 15/50 × 100

= 0.3 × 100

= 30%

The percentage of people chosen to play football is 30%.
