What is x 2(2x+3)-2=5

Mathematics
1 answer:
Scilla [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 0.25 or \frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

2(2x + 3) - 2 = 5 (Given)

2 · 2x + 2 · 3 - 2 = 5 (Distributive Property of Equality)

4x + 6 - 2 = 5 (Simplify)

4x + 4 = 5 (Simplify)

4x + 4 - 4 = 5 - 4 (Subtraction Property of Equality)

4x = 1 (Simplify)

\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{1}{4} (Division Property of Equality)

x = 0.25 or \frac{1}{4} (Simplify)

15% tip to 100 cents why does this make a unit less factor?
evablogger [386]
15% and the corresponding 0.15 is by necessity unit-less; it's just a multiplier.  If you run up a $1 bill and wish to tip 15%, multiply $1 by 0.15, obtaining $0.15.
Then the total due would be $1 plus $0.15, or $1.15.

Note that $0.15
                -------- = 0.15 is unit-less
                   $1

You discover that you are over serving a dish because customers keep taking a third of it home. If the dish requires 4 ingredien
devlian [24]

Answer:

4 parts

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total number of parts is 12 and you want to reduce the dish to two-thirds its current size, the number of parts that will be reduced is (1 - 2/3) = 1/3

To reduce 1/3 of the 12 parts, you need to multiply 12 by 1/3 to know how many parts is that:

12 * 1/3 = 12/3 = 4

You need to subtract 4 parts. If you have 4 ingredients, you can remove 1 part of each, so each ingredient now will have 2 parts.

While shopping at a clearance sale, Samantha finds a $60.00 dress on sale for 25% off. Samantha also has a 50% off coupon. Which
liq [111]

It seems most likely that ...

... Samantha will save $37.50 because she must first find the 25% sale price before taking the extra 50% reduction

_____

In the real world, it seems probable that Samantha will be offered the choice of using the coupon <em>or</em> the sale discount. If she chooses tht 50% coupon, her savings will be $30. If she chooses the marked sale discount, her savings will be $15.

The scenario above assumes she gets 50% off the sale price of $45, so saves $15+22.50 = $37.50 off the original price.
