(x + a)/(ax) = b/x
a= 2
b = 5
(x + 2) /(2x) = 5/x
cross multiply
x * (x+2) = (2x)*5
x^2 + 2x = 10x
x^2 - 8x = 0
x ( x -8) = 0
We get two solutions
x = 0, 8
the solution 0 is extraneous
the solution 8 is valid.

What is 18 divided by 2/3?

pishuonlain [190]

Division is basically
x divided by y=x/y so
18 divided by 2/3= $\frac{18}{ \frac{2}{3} }$
we want the bottom number to be =1 so we multiply 2/3 by 3/2 to make it 1 (or 6/6=1), but we have to multiply the top number by 3/2 also so that we don't change the fraction and make our work useless so

$\frac{18}{ \frac{2}{3} } times \frac{ \frac{3}{2} }{ \frac{3}{2} } = \frac{ \frac{54}{2} }{ \frac{6}{6} }= \frac{27}{1}=27$

the answe ris 27

Question 7 of 10 What is the solution to this equation

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 4(x+5) = 40 (Given)

x + 4x + 20 = 40 (Distribute the 4 into the x and 5)

5x + 20 = 40 (Add like terms)

5x = 20 (Subtract 20 on both sides)

x = 4 (Divide 5 on both sides)

Artemon [7]

Answer:

I don't know what you mean with a b c d and e, but x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

x=7 because first you subtract 6 from each side, because you wan't to have just x, so you will get 3x=21, and then you just divide both sides by3 to get x=7
