Answer:
503.75, 504.75, 505.75, 506.75
Step-by-step explanation:
x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)=2021
4x+6=2021
4x=2015
x=503.75
so it would be
503.75+504.75+505.75+506.75= 2021
There is this specific ratio for 45-45-90 triangles where the length of the hypotenuse is radical 2 times as long as a leg. With this in mind, we can create an equation where the length of one leg is represented with the variable x.
x
= 10
divide both sides by
x = 10
/
x = 10
/2
x = 5
The length of one leg is 5
Since point M is the midpoint of LN, LM and MN are equivalent in length.
7x - 12 = 3x + 16 (LM=MN)
7x = 3x + 28
4x = 28
x = 7
Now that we know the value of x, we can find the value of LM by plugging the value in the equation.
LM = 7(7) - 12
LM = 49 - 12
LM = 37
To find the amount of cups of fruit used you must multiply the number of smoothies (6) by the amount of fruit need for each smoothie (5/8)
6 x 5/8 = 30/8
30/8 can be simplified to 15/4.
This is still an improper fraction, because the numerator is higher than the denominator. To fix this, you divide 15 by 4, which equals 3 3/4 cups

Answer:
x = -20
Step-by-step explanation:
First, simplify the equation. Eliminate parentheses and combine terms.
3(x -1) -8 = 4(1 +x) +5 . . . . . . . given
3x -3 -8 = 4 +4x +5 . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses (distributive property)
3x -11 = 4x +9 . . . . . . . . . . . . combine like terms
We can put all the x-terms on the right by subtracting 3x from both sides.
3x -11 -3x = 4x +9 -3x
-11 = x +9
And we can get the x-term by itself by subtracting 9 from both sides.
-11 -9 = x +9 -9
-20 = x . . . . . . . . . . this is the solution

<em>Check</em>
3(-20 -1) -8 = 4(1 -20) +5
3(-21) -8 = 4(-19) +5
-63 -8 = -76 +5
-71 = -71 . . . . . . . . . true, the answer checks OK

<em>Additional comment</em>
We observe that the two x-terms are 3x and 4x. The smaller of these is 3x, so when we subtract that from 4x we will have a <em>positive</em> result. That is why we chose to subtract 3x, even though it leaves the x-term on the right side of the equation. We could have subtracted 4x to get -x -11 = 9. I find it easier not to make a mistake if the variable has a positive coefficient.
