Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The first two steps are for the purpose of eliminating fractions. Doing so results in 4(2x - 5) = 9(x - 2), which is to be solved for x.
Perform the indicated multiplication, obtaining:
8x - 20 = 9x - 18.
Then combine like terms: -2 = x, or
x = -2.
To complete the formal check, substitute -2 for x in the first equation. This results in:
(1/3)(-4 - 5) = (3/4)(-2 -2), or
-3 = -3
... which is obviously true.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
5, 10, 0
Discussion:
Let "f" be the first number. Then the questions tells us that
f + 2f + (f-5) = 15 =>
f + 2f + f - 5 = 15 => add 5 to both sides
4f = 5+ 15 = 20 => divide both sides by 4
f = 20/4 = 5
The numbers as
f: 5
2f: 10
(f-5): 0
