It would be 0.125 for the first answer
Answer:
Second option: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "x" the number of candy bars Brady sold on Saturday.
For this exercise you need to analize the information provided in the exercise.
According to the information provided, Brady gets paid $2 for every candy bar he sells. This can be expressed as:
You know that Brady made a total of $90 on Saturday; this mean the product of is 90.
Based on this, you can write the following equation that represents the number of candy bars Brady sold on Saturday:
Observe that this matches with the second option.
Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+2=3x+4(2x-1)
5x+2=3x+8x-4
5x+2=11x-4
5x-11x=-4-2
-6x=-6
6x=6
x=1
Given,
3/3x + 1/(x + 4) = 10/7x
1/x + 1/(x+4) = 10/7x
Because the first term on LHS has 'x' in the denominator and the second term in the LHS has '(x + 4)' in the denominator. So to get a common denominator, multiply and divide the first term with '(x + 4)' and the second term with 'x' as shown below
{(1/x)(x + 4)/(x + 4)} + {(1/(x + 4))(x/x)} = 10/7x
{(1(x + 4))/(x(x + 4))} + {(1x)/(x(x + 4))} = 10/7x
Now the common denominator for both terms is (x(x + 4)); so combining the numerators, we get,
{1(x + 4) + 1x} / {x(x + 4)} = 10/7x
(x + 4 + 1x) / (x(x + 4)) = 10/7x
(2x + 4) / (x(x + 4)) = 10/7x
In order to have the same denominator for both LHS and RHS, multiply and divide the LHS by '7' and the RHS by '(x + 4)'
{(2x+4) / (x(x + 4))} (7 / 7) = (10 / 7x) {(x + 4) / (x + 4)}
(14x + 28) / (7x(x + 4)) = (10x + 40) / (7x(x + 4))
Now both LHS and RHS have the same denominator. These can be cancelled.
∴14x + 28 = 10x + 40
14x - 10x = 40 - 28
4x = 12
x = 12/4
∴x = 3
