Answer:

x = -3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

0.4x + 2.9 = 1.5

Reorder the terms:

2.9 + 0.4x = 1.5

Solving

2.9 + 0.4x = 1.5

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2.9' to each side of the equation.

2.9 + -2.9 + 0.4x = 1.5 + -2.9

Combine like terms: 2.9 + -2.9 = 0.0

0.0 + 0.4x = 1.5 + -2.9

0.4x = 1.5 + -2.9

Combine like terms: 1.5 + -2.9 = -1.4

0.4x = -1.4

Divide each side by '0.4'.

x = -3.5

Simplifying

x = -3.5

Pizza take 20 minutes to cook. For pizzas can be cooked at one time in the pizza oven. How long would it take to cook 10 pizzas

ZanzabumX [31]

You'd fine the unit rate, in the context of the problem it would be how many minutes it takes for 1 pizza to cook
20/4= 5 minutes for 1 pizza
we are finding how long it would take to cook 10
5 times 10= 50, so 50 minutes
