In step one, you are supposed to add 25 to both sides, because if you just subtract, it would be -5x-50=53
Answer: 20x
Step-by-step explanation:
First we should note that 60 minutes = 1 hour. Therefore, 15 minutes = 15/60 = 1/4 hour
Since Jean can pack 5 cartons in 1/4 hours, the number of carton that he can pack in one hour will be:
= 5 ÷ 1/4
= 5 × 4
= 20 cartons.
Therefore, to get the number of cartons that Jean can pack in x hours, we will multiply 20 by x. This will be:
= 20 × x
= 20x
Answer:
$1,061
Step-by-step explanation:
2% of 1000 is 20.
If 2% is compounded yearly, then
year one- $1,020
year two- $1,040.40
year three- $1,061.21
Rounded to the nearest whole dollar, Elaine would have $1,061 in her savings account after three years.
So if x is equal to 1/3, then our equation would be 5/(1/3). When dividing by a fraction, you can multiply by the reciprocal to find the answer, meaning that if you divide by 1/3, you can multiply by 3/1. So your answer would be 15.
5/(1/3)=x
5*3=x
15=x
