How do I solve for x

Mathematics
2 answers:
Crazy boy [7]3 years ago
8 0
SOLUTION:

5a / x = 5b / x - 1

( 5a ) ( x - 1 ) = ( x ) ( 5b )

5ax - 5a = 5bx

5ax - 5bx = 5a

5x ( a - b ) = 5a

5x = 5a / ( a - b )

x = 5a / ( a - b ) ÷ 5

x = 5a / 5 ( a - b )

x = a / ( a - b )

Hope this helps! :)

PLEASE HELP!!! here are two different strategies to find the new price of a hat after a discount of 40%. The hat was originally
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1: Calculate 40% discount on original price, then subtract discount from original price.

Amount of discount = 40% of $30

= 0.40 × $30

= $12

New price = $30 - $12 = $18

Method 2:

New price = (100% - discount percentage) of original price

= 60% of original price

= 0.60 × $30

= $18
