Answer:

X = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in problem

- x -4x - 7 = 5 -2x

Or, -5x - 7 = 5- 2x

Or, -5x + 2x = 5 + 7

Or, -3x = 12

Or, x = - $\frac{12}{3}$

∴ X = - 4 Answer

Mr. Lawrence used 100 tiles when he put a new floor in the kitchen 34 tiles are squares and 16 tiles are rectangles write the to

Oliga [24]

<h3>Fraction of square tiles = $(\frac{4}{25}) = 0.16$ </h3><h3>Fraction of rectangle tiles = $(\frac{17}{50}) = 0.34$ </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of tiles to be used in the kitchen = 100

The total number of square tiles = 34

The total number of rectangle tiles = 16

Now, calculating the total fraction of square tiles:

The fraction of square tiles = $\frac{\textrm{Total number of square tiles}}{\textrm{Total number of tiles}} = \frac{16}{100} = \frac{4}{25}$

Also, solving the fraction, we get $\frac{4}{25} = 0.16$

So, the decimal value of square tiles = 0.6

Calculating the total fraction of rectangle tiles:

The fraction of rectangle tiles = $\frac{\textrm{Total number of rectangle tiles}}{\textrm{Total number of tiles}} = \frac{34}{100} = \frac{17}{50}$

Also, solving the fraction, we get $\frac{17}{50} = 0.34$

So, the decimal value of rectangle tiles = 0.34

Find the whole quantity if 5 percent of it is 500

liq [111]

Answer:

10,000

Step-by-step explanation:

500/0.05= 10,000

You take the amount you are given divided by the decimal form of the percentage you are given to find the answer. It's a reverse from the way you find 5% of 10,000.

0.05=5%

Check your work: 10,000*5%= 500

In rectangle DATE, the diagonals DT and AE intersect as S. If LaTeX: AE=40 A E = 40 and LaTeX: ST=x+5 S T = x + 5 , find the val

svetoff [14.1K]

For this case we have the following diagonals:
AE = 40
ST = x + 5
The intersection of the diagonals occurs when:
AE = ST
Therefore, matching we have:
40 = x + 5
Clearing x we have:
x = 40-5
x = 35
Answer:
The value of x is:
x = 35
