What is the value of x in the equation ?2.5(6x-4)=10 4(1.5 0.5x)

1 answer:

3 0

2.5(6x−4)=(10)(4)(1.5)(0.5)x

(2.5)(6x)+(2.5)(−4)=(10)(4)(1.5)(0.5)x(Distribute)15x+−10=30x
15x−10=30x

15x−10−30x=30x−30x−15x−10=0

−15x−10+10=0+10−15x=10
−15x−15=10−15x=−23
Answer:x=−23

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

b. -30

Step-by-step explanation:

the reason why it is B is because the operation in front of the number that stands alone without being a constant number that increases (or decreases) like the number 2, it has an x next to it which means that the number 2 is going to increase at a constant rate.

Explain how you know which method you should use to solve a rational equation.

notsponge [240]

Methods to solve rational equation:

Rational equation:

A rational equation is an equation containing at least one rational expression.

Method 1:

The method for solving rational equations is to rewrite the rational expressions in terms of a common denominator. Then, since we know the numerators are equal, we can solve for the variable.

For example,

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{x}{2}\Rightarrow x=1$

This can be used for rational equations with polynomials too.

For example,

$\frac{1+x}{x-3}=\frac{4}{x-3}\Rightarrow(1+x)=4 \Rightarrow x=3$

When the terms in a rational equation have unlike denominators, solving the equation will be as follows

$\frac{x+2}{8}=\frac{3}{4}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{x+2}{1}=\frac{3\times8}{4}\Rightarrow{x+2}=2\times3$

$\Rightarrow{x+2}=6\Rightarrow x=6-2\Rightarrow x=4$

Method 2:

Another way of solving the above equation is by finding least common denominator (LCD)

$\frac{x+2}{8}=\frac{3}{4}$

Factors of 4: $1\times2\times2$

Factors of 8: $1\times2\times2\times2$

The LCD of 4 and 8 is 8. So, we have to make the right hand side denominator as 8. This is done by the following step,

$\Rightarrow\frac{x+2}{8}=\frac{3}{4}\times{2}{2}$

we get,

$\Rightarrow\frac{x+2}{8}=\frac{6}{8}$

On cancelling 8 on both sides we get,

$\Rightarrow(x+2)=6\rightarrow x=6-2\rightarrow x=4$

Hence, these are the ways to solve a rational equation.

Most evenings after dinner Duarte spends 30 minutes playing chess with his dad.

olasank [31]

T= total played
e= # evenings played
m= # minutes played

Total equals number of evenings played multiplied by number of minutes plated per evening.

EQUATION:
t=e * m

EQUATION (if 30 minutes per evening):
t=30e

Example:
3 nights, 30 minutes played

t= 3 * 30
t=90 minutes total played

Hope this helps! :)
