Answer:

3 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

X+8 =5x-4

Subtract x from each side

x-x+8 =5x-x-4

8 = 4x-4

Add 4 to each side

8+4 = 4x-4+4

12 =4x

Divide each side by4

12/4 = 4x/4

3 =x

If x + 9.8 = 14.7, what is the value of 8(x - 3.7)?

Scrat [10]

Find the value of x
x+9.8=14.7
x=4.9
Then plug it in the second equation
8(4.9-3.7)
8(1.2)
9.6
Hope this helps.

4 - 5/2 * (1/10x) = 1 what is the value of x

Inga [223]

$4 - 5 / 2 * (1/10x) = 1\\$

The first step is to identify the order in which the equation must be solved, by following PEMDAS (you might know it as BEDMAS):

Parenthesis (or Brackets)

Exponents

Multiplication and Division

Addition and Subtraction

My advice would be to add parenthesis, following these rules, if you are not very good at finding them immediately by sight.

So:

$4 - 5 / 2 * (\frac{1}{10x}) = 1\\\\4 - [(5/2)*(\frac{1}{10x})]=1\\\\4-(2.5*\frac{1}{10x})=1\\\\4-\frac{2.5}{10x}-1=0\\3-\frac{x}{4}=0\\\frac{x}{4}=3\\x=3*4\\x=12$

We check our answer:

$x=12\\4 - [(5 / 2) * (1/10)*(x)] = 1\\4 - [(5 / 2) * (\frac{1}{10}) * (12))] = 1\\4 - [2.5 * (\frac{1}{10})*12] = 1\\4 - [(\frac{2.5}{10})*12] = 1\\4 - [(\frac{1}{4})*12] = 1\\4 - 3 = 1\\1=1$
