Answer:

x=21

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x-2/5*5=8*5 Multiply the 5 on both sides to cancel out the denominator.

2. 2x-2+2=40+2 Add 2 on both sides to isolate the term with the variable.

3. 2x/2=42/2 Divide both sides by 2 in order to isolate the variable itself. Yay, you got the answer, 21!

Heyy I hope you have a great day, this took forever to type so it would be very appreciated if you marked this answer as brainliest... UwU

Jackie ordered a set of wood and metal clothes pins. Of the 276 pins, 172 were wood. What percentage of the clothes pins were me

timurjin [86]

We know that 172 of them were wood, so the rest are metal. To find that number we do:

276 - 172 = 104 metal pins.

To find the percentage that they were metal, take the number of metal pins and divide by the total number of pins:

104/276 is about 0.3768.

Multiply this by 100:

37.68

So, the percent of metal pins is 37.68%.

Davis Electronics manufactures a certain type of radio that requires 18 working resistors per radio. If one out of 22 resistors

REY [17]

Since One Radio in Davis Electronics requires 18 working resistors, then 2,145 radios will require $18\times2145=38610$ resistors.

Now we know that one out of 22 resistors is defective. This means that the number of non defective or perfect resistors in a set of 22 resistors is 21.

So, obviously, if we pick a set of 40,370 resistors then the set of working resistors we will get is $40370\times \frac{21}{22} =38535$ .

As can be clearly seen from the above calculations the required amount of working resistors is 38610 and the amount of working calculators available to us is 38535.

Thus, since the required amount of working resistors is greater than the amount of working resistors available, 40,370 resistors are not enough to assemble 2,145 radios.
