You do 5 times x and 5 times 4 and you’d end up with equation that says 5x-4=6. The you add 4 to both sides of the equation to cancel out the 4. Your equation should now say 5x=10. You divide both sides by 5 and you have your answer x=2

Answer:

26/5 or Simplified form would be 5.2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Distribute 5 to (x-4) by multiplying them.

5x-20=6

2. Add 20 to 6.

5x=20 plus 6.

3. Divide 5 to 26.

5x divided by 26.

Answer: It would be 26/5 but simplified it would be 5.2

Chet needs to buy 4 work shirts, all costing the same amount. The total cost before Chet applies a $25 gift certificate can be n
Alborosie
Let us use x as the cost before Chet would apply a $25 gift certificate. Based on the problem, we can see that the original cost of the product cannot be more than 75 which means that it can be equal to 75 or less than 75. We can actually express the inequality as x< or = 75 since we are looking for the cost before Chet applied the $25 gift certificate. This means that we do not need to add in the 25 yet since the question asks for the cost before the application of the discount. - Credits, <span>Taskmasters and Hegans</span>

Name : Teacher: Word Problems Score: Date : Tom has 24 blue balloons. He wants to give his six friends the same number of blue b
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Each friend of Tommy will receive 4 blue balloons from tommy as Tommy wants to distribute his balloons equally among all of them.

As per the question statement, Tom has 24 blue balloons and he wants to distribute his balloons equally among all 6 of his friends.

To solve this question, let us assume that each friend of Tommy received "x" balloons on equal distribution.

We will now form a Linear Equation of single variable with "x", based on the condition mentioned in the question statement, and solving for "x", we will obtain our desired answer, i.e.,

(x+x+x+x+x+x)=24\\or, (6*x)=24\\or, x=\frac{24}{6}\\ or, x=4

Thus, Each friend of Tommy will receive 4 blue balloons.

  • Linear Equation: In Mathematics, a linear equation is an algebraic equation which when graphed, always results in a straight Line and hence comes the name "Linear". Here, each term has an exponent of 1 and is often denoted as (y = mx + c)  where, 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept. Occasionally, it is also called as a "linear equation of two variables," where y and x are the variables.
  • Variable: In Mathematics, a variable is a symbol or a representative of a value, which is unknown.

Alla [95]

The number of lateral faces for a hexagonal prism or pyramid is 6.

<h3>What is a prism?</h3>

A prism is a three dimensional figure consisting of pair of opposite bases and lateral faces which are parallelogram.

Given that the base off the prism has two sides of length 3 inches and four sides of length 2 inches. Hence the base is hexagonal. The lateral faces would be 6.

The number of lateral faces for a hexagonal prism or pyramid is 6.
