Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to get x by itself. To do this, preform the opposite of what is being done to the equation, and everything that is done to one side, must be done to the other.

5(2x-8)+15= -15

First, subtract 15 from both sides, since 15 is being added

5(2x-8)+15-15=-15-15

5(2x-8)=-30

Next, divide both sides by 5 since 5 is being multiplied

5(2x-8)/5= -30/5

2x-8= -6

Add 8 to both sides, since 8 is being subtracted

2x-8+8= -6+8

2x= 2

Divide both sides by 2, since 2 is being multiplied

2x/2= 2/2

x=1

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

5(2x-8)+15=-15

first do what is in parentheses, multiply the 5 with 2x and -8.

10x-40+15=-15

add 15 to -40

10x-25=-15

add 25 to both sides

10x=10

divide 10 on both sides

x=1

Answer

24 quarts of green paint should be mixed with 4 cups of black paint.

That is (96 cups)

Step by step explanation

Jasper Green mix 4 quarts of green paint with 2/3 cups of black paint.

Let's convert 4 quarts into cups.

1 quart = 4 cups

4 quarts = 16 cups

Here mix 16 cups of green paint with 2/3 cups of black paint.

Let's use the proportion

Green paint Black paint

16 2/3

x 4

16/x =2/3 divided by 4

$\frac{16}{x} = \frac{2/3}{4}$

Cross multiplying, we get

16*4 = 2/3 x

64 = 2/3 x

x = 64/(2/3)

x = 64 * 3/2

x = 192/2

x = 96 cups

96 cups of green paint should be mixed with 4 cups of black paint.

We can covert 96 cups into quarts by dividing by 4

96/4 = 24 quarts

24 quarts of green paint should be mixed with 4 cups of black paint.

Thank you.

In another baseball division, one team had a winning percentage of 0.444 repeating What fraction of their games did this team wi

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

$x = \frac{4}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Winning Percentage = 0.444 repeating

Required

Represent as a fraction

Represent the percentage with x

$x = 0.444$

Convert to fraction

$x = \frac{444}{1000}$

Next step, is to convert to fraction repeating

To do this, we simply subtract 1 from the denominator

$x = \frac{444}{1000 - 1}$

$x = \frac{444}{999}$

Simplify to the lowest term: Divide numerator and denominator by 37

$x = \frac{444/37}{999/37}$

$x = \frac{12}{27}$

Simplify to the lowest term: Divide numerator and denominator by 3

$x = \frac{12/3}{27/3}$

$x = \frac{4}{9}$

Hence;

There winning fraction is $\frac{4}{9}$
