Answer:

x = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{1}{3} (x - 2) = \frac{1}{5} (x + 4) + 2

Multiply through by 15 to clear the fractions

5(x - 2) =3(x + 4) + 30 ← distribute and simplify both sides

5x - 10 = 3x + 12 + 30, that is

5x - 10 = 3x + 42 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

2x - 10 = 42 ( add 10 to both sides )

2x = 52 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 26

If I plan to run 400 yards and I have completed 80%, how many yards do I have left?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

You have 80 yards left to run.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we first must realize that if you have completed 80% of the run, that you have 20% left (this is because 100%-80% = 20%).  

Next, we must find 20% of 400 yards.  We must remember that in math, the word "of" represents multiplication.  We also know that 20% = 20/100 = 0.2.

To find 20% of 400 yards, we can perform the following operation:

20% * 400

0.2 * 400

80

Therefore, you have 80 yards left.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

a) 300 + 80h = x

b) $780

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the original cost is $300, plus an additional $80 times the number of hours rented.

h will represent the number of hours rented

x will represent our total cost (use whatever variable your teacher expects :))

300 + 80h = x

This is our equation. Now, we want to find the cost for 6 hours. Substitute 6 in for h.

300 + 80(6) = x        Solve for x.

 300 + 480 = x

            780 = x        This means the total cost for 6 hours will be $780.

Hope this helps :)

NOTE: I noticed in part a, it referred to a "dunking booth". I solved this problem as if that was a typo and they were referring to the jumper.
