Answer:

n = 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5(n− 1 /10 )= 1/ 2

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5(n− 1 /10 )= 1 /2

(5)(n)+(5)( −1 /10 )= 1/2

(Distribute)

5n +  −1 /2 = 1 /2

Step 2: Add 1/2 to both sides.

5n +  −1 /2  +  1 /2  =  1 /2  +  1 /2

5n=1  

Step 3: Divide both sides by 5.

5n /5  =  1 /5

n=  1 /5

Kelly needs to order lunch for orders 6 people at a business meeting. Her menu choices are chicken salad for a cost of $5 per pe
nirvana33 [79]
Ok , with that information we can write the equations
x + y = 6
5x + 4y = 28

Where x = how many people ordered chicken
and y = how many people ordered egg salad

Through elimination , we can set one of the variables in both equations equal so we can eliminate it :

(4)x + (4)y = (4)6
5x + 4y = 28

4x + 4y = 24. equation 1
5x + 4y = 28. equation 2

Now we can subtract the second equation by the first equation and isolate one variable:
equation 2 - equation 1

5x - 4x + 4y - 4y = 28 - 24

x = 4

Now that we discovered our x value ( How many people ordered chicken salad ) , we can apply it to one of the equations and discover y ( how many people ordered egg salad)

x + y = 6
x= 4
4 + y = 6

We can shift 4 to the other side of the equation by subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation:
4 - 4 + y = 6 - 4
y = 2

x=4 and y=2

So the awnser is :
4 people ordered chicken salad and 2 people ordered egg salad!

I hope you understood my brief explanation!!

It’s 11:45 and you have an awesome appointment in 3 hours and 25 minutes. What time is your appointment? Please HELP!
stiks02 [169]

Answer: The time would be 3:00

There are 60 minute per hour. If it is 11:45, it's 25 minutes until 12:10. Once it is 12:10, the next hour (after 50 minutes) would be  1:00. so if you take 11:45 and add the 25 minutes from 3 hours and 25 minutes, it is 12:10 and you are left with 3 hours. 3 hours after 12:10 is 3:10

Consider a refrigerator that consumes 320 W of elec- tric power when it is running. If the refrigerator runs only one quarter of
irinina [24]

Answer: The refrigerator cost in this month is $4.5 approximately.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount of watt of electric power = 320 W

Number of days = 30

Unit cost of electricity = $0.13/Kwh

Hold factor = \dfrac{1}{4}

Number of hours in a month = 24

So, the refrigerator cost in this month would be

0.13\times 0.32\times \dfrac{1}{4}\times 30\times 24\\\\=\$7.488

Hence, the refrigerator cost in this month is $4.5 approximately.
