You need to distribute the numerical factors for each term in the parenthesis:

\dfrac{-1}{5}(5x+20)-\dfrac{1}{4}(4x-28) = \dfrac{-1}{5}\cdot 5x + \dfrac{-1}{5}\cdot 20 + \dfrac{-1}{4} \cdot 4x + \dfrac{-1}{4} \cdot (-28)

This equals

-x-4-x+7 = -2x+3

Find the value of x<br> (I need help with both of them pls)
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

1. x = 21

2. x = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the interior angles of all quadrilaterals add up to 360, all we have to do is add them up and set them equal to 360. Combine like terms and we get

7x + 213 = 360

Which further turns to 7x = 147

So x = 21

For the second problem, it's the same thing

By the end we get 2x + 8 = 46

2x = 38

x = 19

Hope this helps

Are the ratios 25/45 and 15/27 proportional? Explain.
liberstina [14]
Write them out as a fraction then reduce them. If theyre the same then its proportional.

25/45 can be cancelled down to 5/9

15/27 can be cancelled down to 3/9

So no theyre not.
