9. Five times a number is the same as the number added to five. What is the number?

1 answer:

4 0

Let x be the number

5x = x + 5

subtract x from both sides

5x - x = 5

4x = 5

Divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 5/4

x = 5/4

=======

Check:

5 * (5/4) = (5/4) + 5

25/4 = 1.25 + 5

6.25 = 6.25

The length of a rectangle is 2 inches more than 4 times the width. The perimeter is 64 inches. Find the length and the width.

pashok25 [27]

<span>The width is 6 inches and the length is 26 inches.

Explanation:
L=4w+2, since the length is 2 more than 4 times the width.

The perimeter is given by P=2L+2w; using our equation for L, we have
P=2(4w+2)+2w.

Using the distributive property, we have
P=2*4w+2*2+2w
P=8w+4+2w.

Combining like terms, we have P=10w+4.

We know the perimeter is 64, so we have
64=10w+4.

Subtract 4 from both sides:
64-4=10w+4-4
60=10w.

Divide both sides by 10:
60/10 = 10w/10
6=w.

Substitute this into the equation for length: L=4*6+2=24+2=26</span>

A gym membership costs $25 to join and $14 each month. Write and use an algebraic expression to find the cost of the gym members

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that a gym membership costs $25 plus $14 each month.

In other words, the one-time cost is $25 and there will be a cost of $14 each month.

We can write this as:

$f(x)=14x+25$
