Okay so will have x be the denominator. 
Numerator: 4x
Fraction: \frac{4x}{x} which would be equivalent to 4.
If you add 10 to both the numerator and denominator the resulting fraction is
\frac{4x + 10}{x + 10}= 2
We multiply both sides of the equal side sign times (x + 10) we get...
4x + 10 = 2 * (x + 10)
4x + 10 = 2x + 20
4x - 2x = 20 - 10
2x = 10
x = 5 < denominator
4x = 4 * 5 = 10 < So the fraction is 10/5

Answer:

They make $14.98

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributor sells them at a cost of 42.80. This is before the profit, so there is no markup yet. multiply 42.80 by 0.35, because this is the profit margin. This will give the answer $14.98

20 + 17y = -6 + 15y<br><br> Can you help me find y?
MariettaO [177]
20 + 17y = -6 + 15y

First, regroup your terms.
20 + 17y = 15y - 6
Second, take away '15y' from each side.
20 + 17y - 15y = -6
Third, subtract '17y - 15y' to get '2y'.
20 + 2y = -6
Fourth, take away '20' from both sides.
2y = -6 - 20
Fifth, simplify '-6 - 20' to get '-26'.
2y = -26
Sixth, divide both sides by '2'.
y =  -\frac{26}{2}
Seventh, how many times goes 2 go into 26? 26 ÷ 2 = 13.
y = -13

Answer: y = -13

a rocket was launched into the air from a platform above the ground. The height, in feet, of the rocket above the ground t secon
vova2212 [387]
For this case we have the following expression:
 h (t) = -16t ^ 2 + 64t + 80
 For t = 0 we have:
 h (0) = -16 (0) ^ 2 + 64 (0) + 80
 h (0) = -0 + 0 + 80
 h (0) = 80 feet
 Therefore the number 80 represents the initial height of the rocket
 Answer:
 
the 80 in the expression represented:
 
the initial height of the rocket

Maggie buys 5 apples and 4 oranges for $10 and Lynn buys 5 apples and 5 oranges for $11. What is the price for an apple and what
nlexa [21]
Make 2 eqn, let a be apples and o be oranges:

1. 5a + 4o = 10
2. 5a + 5o = 11

set up an elimination:
1. minus 2.
5a + 4o = 10
- 5a + 5o = 11
____________
o = 1

sub “o” into one of the eqn

5a + 5(1) = 11
5a = 11-5
5a = 6
a = 6/5
a = 1.2

therefore, an orange costs $1.00 and an apple costs $1.20
