<h2>Answer</h2>

The value of x is 20

<h2>Expalantion</h2>

As given in question

$x/5+x/2 = 14$

We have to determine the value of x

So, by taking LCM of given equation

$(2x + 5x)/10 = 14$

By taking 10 to other side of equation

$2x + 5x = 14 * 10$

$2x + 5x = 140$

$7x = 140$

$x = 140/7$

x = 20

Solving Rational equations. LCD method. Show work. Image attached.

Ugo [173]

Answer:

$k=\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given rational equation is

$\frac{5k}{k+2}+\frac{2}{k}=5$

The Least Common Denominator is

$k(k+2)$

Multiply each term by the LCD.

$k(k+2)\times \frac{5k}{k+2}+k(k+2)\times \frac{2}{k}=5k(k+2)$

Simplify;

$k\times \frac{5k}{1}+(k+2)\times \frac{2}{1}=5k(k+2)$

$\Rightarrow k(5k)+2(k+2)=5k(k+2)$

Expand;

$\Rightarrow 5k^2+2k+4=5k^2+10k$

Group similar terms;

$\Rightarrow 5k^2-5k^2+2k-10k=-4$

$\Rightarrow -8k=-4$

Divide by -8.

$k=\frac{1}{2}$

The following frequency table summarizes the number of children that dads in Dads Club have.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Now there are 6+4+8+1+1=20 dads in the Dads Club.

Fewer than 3 children have

1 child - 6 dads
2 children - 4 dads.

So, 6+4=10 dads have fewer than 3 children.

The probability that the dad of Dads Club has fewer than 3 children is

$Pr=\dfrac{10}{20}=0.5 \text{ or } 50\%.$

The probability that the next dad to join Dads Club has fewer than 3 children is reasonable to be 50%.
