To solve this complex fraction equation, we need to get the same denominator on the left, then combine them to one term. Then we can cross-multiply with the other side.
1/2 + 4/2x = x/2x + 4/2x = (x+4)/2x
Now we have (x+4)/2x = (x+4)/10
cross-multiply:
(x+4)×10 = (x+4)×2x
10x+40 = 2x^2+8x
2 {x}^{2}  + 8x - 10x - 40 = 0 \\ 2 {x}^{2}  - 2x - 40 = 0 \\ 2({x}^{2}  - x - 20) = 0 \\ 2(x - 5)(x + 4) = 0
Therefore x = -4 and x = 5
C) is the correct answer

Make the denominator into 10x:
5x/10x +20/10x=x(x+4)/10x
5x+20=x(x+4)
5x+20=x²+4x
x²-x-20=0
(x-5)(x+4)=0
x=5 or -4
the third choice is correct.

Suppose you buy a $50 coffee maker in an area where the sales tax is 8%. When you check out, 8% of $50 would be added to your to
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

8% is also 8/100. This would be true for all percents 0 to 100%. If it were 42% it can be written as 42/100.

So, 8% is 8/100. If you want to find 8/100 of 50 multiply them.

8/100 * 50/1 = (8*50) /100

400/100 = 4

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

16x - (8x  + 6) =90

The first step is to distribute the - sign

16x -8x -6 =90

Now we combine the like terms

8x-6 = 90

Add 6 to each side

8x-6+6 = 90+6

8x = 96

Divide each side by 8

8x/8 = 96/8

x =12
