Answer:

The number of counties in state A are 70.

The number of counties in state B are 68.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of counties in state A and the number of counties in state B are consecutive even integers whose sum is 138.

Let the two consecutive even integers be x and x+2.

As their sum is 138, we can denote this mathematically as :

x+x+2=138

=> 2x+2=138

=> 2x=138-2

=> 2x=136

Now, we get x = 68

And x+2=68+2 = 70

Hence, the two numbers are 68 and 70.

So, the number of counties in state A are 70.

The number of counties in state B are 68.

Rahul solved the equation 2(x – ) – 2 left-parenthesis x minus StartFraction 1 Over 8 EndFraction right-parenthesis minus StartF
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Step 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution is given in the image attached. The steps are:

Step 1:

2x-\frac{1}{4} -\frac{3}{5}x=\frac{55}{4}

Step 2: simplifying the coefficients of x:

2x -\frac{3}{5}x-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{55}{4}\\\frac{10x-3}{5} -\frac{1}{4}=\frac{55}{4}\\\frac{7x}{5} -\frac{1}{4}=\frac{55}{4}

Step 3: Adding 1/4 to both sides

\frac{7x}{5} -\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4} =\frac{55}{4}+\frac{1}{4}\\ \frac{7x}{5}=\frac{55+1}{4}\\ \frac{7x}{5}=\frac{56}{4}\\

Step 4: Multiplying both sides by 5/7

\frac{7x}{5}*\frac{5}{7} =\frac{56}{4}*\frac{5}{7} \\x=10

The addition property of equality states that if a number is added to both sides of an equation, the equation is still valid (i.e the equation is still the same). From the steps above, The addition property of equality was applied in step 3
