Answer:
2.57 might be right. If its not then I'm sorry
If you simply it down you get
so X can technically be any number
Depends on how much percent you have to put down for the house. Like if it’s 10% then just subtract 10% from the cost of the house.
We have that
<span>If (5x-4+13x=5) --------------> then x=1/2
Step 1
</span>let's substitute the value of x = (1/2) in the expression [5x-4+13x] and verify its result
5*(1/2)-4+13*(1/2)
(5/2)-4+(13/2)
(5-4*2+13)/2----------> (5-8+13)/2=10/2=5
then
5=5-----------> <span>the value of x = (1/2) satisfies equality</span>
The man travelled in different ways: by rail, by taxi, by ___ and by foot. I placed a blank there because there seems to be a missing word in the given problem above. For sample purposes, let's just assume that is travel by bus.
Since all of these travels are equal to 1 whole journey, you can express each travel as a fraction. When you add them up, the answer would be 1. So,
3/8 + 1/4 + 1/8 + x = 1
The variable x here denotes the fraction of his travel by foot. We are only given the exact distance travelled on foot which is 2 km. We have to find the fraction of the travel by foot to determine the length of the total distance travelled. Solving for x,
x = 1 - 3/8 - 1/4 - 1/8
x = 1/4
That means that the travel by foot comprises 1/4 of the whole journey. Thus,
Let total distance be D.
1.4*D = 2 km
D = 8 km
Therefore, the man travelled a total of 8 kilometers.
