Alrighty! KFC! Keep, change, flip! When dividing fractions, you keep the first fraction, flip the second, and change the divide sign to multiply. Here is work as requested.
Answer: The number is 40
Step-by-step explanation:
We will set up an equation where 4/5 is being multiply by the number to get 32. we will represent that number by x
4/5 * x = 32 solve for x
4/5x = 32
0.8x = 32
x = 40
<span>1.
-x = 2 - 3x + 6
-x + 3x = 8
2x = 8
x = 8/2
x = 4
2.
</span><span>Step 1: 2(3x − 4) = 8 + 2x + 4
Step 2: 5x − 6 = 12 + 2x </span>← wrong
The correct step: <span>Step 2: 6x − 8 = 12 + 2x
3.
</span>The next step is <span>2m = 8</span>
and the second one 2 will work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let:
x = Chemistry textbooks sold
y = Physics textbooks sold
The textbook store sold a combined total of 260, so:
The number of chemistry books sold was three times the number of physics textbooks sold, so:
Let:
Replace (2) into (1):
Replace the value of y into (2):
