How do I solve for x

Mathematics
2 answers:
Crazy boy [7]2 years ago

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! :)

koban [17]

Answer: $700

Step-by-step explanation:

The store is selling at 30% off.

= 1,000 * 30%

= $300

The store is selling 30% off, this means that they are reducing the price by 30%:

= 1,000 - 300

The ends of a pipe when measured with a tape measure that has marks every millimeter are exactly at the 0 mark and the 15 meter
exis [7]
If the ends span from the 0 to the 15 meter mark, then the length of the pipe is 15 meters. However, you should report it using the right amount of significant figures. It is mentioned in the problem that millimeter marks are calibrated between meters. Since millimeter is 1/1000 of a meter, you should add three decimal places to the 15 meters. Hence, you should report it as 15.000 meters.
