85/100 and x/540
cross multiply, so it would be 85 multiplied by 540 which is 45,900
you then divide 45,900 by 100 which is 459
so 85 percent of 540 is 459
Answer:
Error in the third line.
Step-by-step explanation:
There is an error in the third line.
We are dividing through by 7 but mx is not divided by 7.
Correct solution is:
mx + 7nx =7
x(m + 7n) = 7
x = 7 / (m + 7n).
Answer:
x = 1/3, x = -1.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x(x + 2) + (x - 1)² = 2
Distribute the 2x into x + 2.
2x² + 4x + (x - 1)² = 2
Square (x - 1).
2x² + 4x + x² - x - x + 1 = 2
Combine terms.
2x² + x² + 4x - 2x + 1 = 2
Combine terms again.
3x² + 2x + 1 = 2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
3x² + 2x - 1 = 0
Factor.
(3x - 1)(x + 1) = 0.
Finding the x-values here is the same thing as finding the 0s, so set both of the expressions to 0.
3x - 1 = 0
Add 1 to both sides.
3x = 1
Divide by 3.
x = 1/3.
x + 1 = 0
Subtract 1 from both sides.
x = -1.
