2 answers:

6 0

X = 4

-2x - 4 + 5x = 8

Add up the X’s: 3x - 4 = 8

Isolate the X’s, Transfer -4 to the other side of the equal sign, while also flipping the sign (negative & positive): 3x = 8 + 4

Add up the 8 & 4: 3x = 12

Divide each side by 3: 3x/3 = 12/3

Final Answer: x = 4

I recommend using Photomath as it scans math problems, solves them, and shows you how it is done. It’s quite helpful.

Answer:

$\boxed{0.2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert $\dfrac{12}{60}$ to a decimal

Step 1. Reduce the fraction to its lowest terms.

Divide both numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (12)

$\dfrac{12}{60} =\dfrac{1}{5}$

Step 2. Convert the denominator to a power of 10

Multiply both numerator and denominator by 2.

$\dfrac{1}{5} \times \dfrac{2}{2} = \dfrac{2}{10}$

Step 3. Divide the numerator by the denominator

Dividing by 10 moves the decimal point one place to the left.

$\dfrac{2}{10} = \boxed{0.2}$

Let P = Pressure, V = Volume and be K = constant, by definition of Boyle's Law in which says that the volume of a gas varies inversely with the pressure, we have: P = K / V 586 = K / 5 K = 2930. Then, the pressure when the volume is 2L will be: P = 2930/2 = 1465Kpa
