<u>Equation:</u>

2/x        -    3        =       4/x      +        4

<u>Let's solve your equation step-by-step.</u>

2/x        -    3        =       4/x      +        4


2/x     +       -    3        =       4/x      +        4


Multiply all terms by x and cancel:

2     +      −3x       =     4       +      4x

−3x       +        2      =      4x      +     4           <u>(Simplify both sides of the equation)</u>

−3x     +     2      −       4x     =    4x     +   4     −    4x   <u>(Subtract 4x from both sides)</u>

−7x        +        2         =       4

−7x        +       2      −      2     =    4     −       2           <u>  (Subtract 2 from both sides)</u>

−7x            =           2

-7x/ -7          =      2/ -7

x                    =           -2/7

<u>Check answers. (Plug them in to make sure they work.)</u>

x         =         -2/7      <u> (Works in Original Equation)</u>


<u>Therefore, your answer is : </u>  

2/x        -    3        =       4/x      +        4    

x           =         -2/7

Decimal:       x     =      0.28571    

<u>So,  Letter Choice, (D), would be the best answer to your Equation:    -2</u>





Hope that helps!!!!                                : )

Mr. Sanchez’s class sold fruit pies for $1.55 each and Mr. Kelly’s class sold bottles of fruit juice for $1.40 each. Together, t
hoa [83]

Answer:

Mr. Sanchez's class sold 28 fruit pies and Mr. Kelly's class sold 32 bottles of fruit juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of fruit pies sold and y be the number of bottles of fruit juice sold.

Together, the classes sold 60 items, so

x + y = 60

Mr. Sanchez’s class sold fruit pies for $1.55 each, so x fruit pies cost $1.55x.

Mr. Kelly’s class sold bottles of fruit juice for $1.40 each, so y bottles of fruit juice cost $1.40y.

Together, the classes  earned $88.20 for their school, so

1.55x + 1.40y = 88.20.

You get the system of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}x+y=60\\ \\1.55x+1.40y=88.20\end{array}\right.

From the first equation:

x=60-y

Substitute it into the second equation:

1.55(60-y)+1.40y=88.20\\ \\93-1.55y+1.4y=88.2\\ \\-0.15y=88.2-93\\ \\-0.15y=-4.8\\ \\0.15y=4.8\\ \\15y=480\\ \\y=32\\ \\x=60-32=28

Mr. Sanchez's class sold 28 fruit pies and Mr. Kelly's class sold 32 bottles of fruit juice.

Devin's DVD case has 3 rows of slots, but 5 slots are broken.If x equals the number of slots in a row explain how the expression
Paul [167]

Answer:

The total number of unbroken / working slots

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Devin's DVD case has 3 rows of slots, but 5 slots are broken

Also given that the number of slots in a row is x

1 row has x slots

3 rows has y slots

on cross multiplication we get y = 3x

ie there are a total of 3x slots in the 3 rows

Given that out of these 3x slots 5 . of the slots are broken

Therefore the total number of working slots = total number of slots - number of slots which are broken

total number of working slots are = 3x - 5

Therefore the given expression is the number of working / good slots
