To solve, isolate the x. Cross multiply

3/13(13)(5) = x/5(5)(13)

3(5) = (13)x

Simplify

13x = 15

Isolate the x. Divide by 13.

13x/13 = 15/13

x = 15/13

x = 1.2

1.2 is your answer

hope this helps

How do I do this problem
Lena [83]

First you multiply 3 times x and 3 times 2 

4(3(x + 2) -1) =50

and get

4( 3x +6 -1) =50

then you add 6 plus -1

4 ( 3x +5) = 50

then multiply 4 times 3x and 4 times 5

12x +20 = 50 and subtract 20 from both sides

       -20    -20

and you will get

12x = 30

divided both sides by 12

12x/12 = 30/12

then you find the ones that are the same amount in decimals but are smaller

and that's your answer: x= 5/2


hope you get it!!!

Looked everywhere, couldnt find answer. 7m+4n+8 = what
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: (this is solving for m)

m=  −4 /7 n +  −8 /7

Step-by-step explanation:

7m + 4n + 8+ −4n =0 + −4n

7m + 8= −4n

7m + 8 + −8 = −4n + −8

7m = −4n − 8

7m /7  =  (−4n − 8 ) /7

m=  −4 /7 n +  −8 /7

The answers to the questions are:

  • a. $33,750
  • b. $36000
  • c. $90000

a. <u>the straight-line method of depreciation</u>

\frac{cost of machine - salvage}{useful life} * period

= (240000 - 60000) / 4 * (9 / 12)

= $33,750

The debit is 33750 as well as the credit

b. <u> the units-of-production method of depreciation</u>

(240000 - 60000) / 60000 * 12000

= $36000

c. <u>the double-declining balance method of depreciation</u>

(24000 *2 /4) * (9/12)

= $90000
