To solve this, it is easiest to set up a proportion, letting x represent the number that we don't know.

2/10 = x/5

Now, we can use cross products to simplify this proportion.  Cross products sets the products of the numerator and denominator of separate fractions equal to one another.  It results in the equation:

(5)(2) = (10)(x)

Let's multiply out these numbers to further simplify the equation.

10 = 10x 

Finally, we have to divide both sides by 10, to get our variable x alone

x = 1

Therefore, 2 tenths is equal to 1 fifth.

The penny size of a nail indicates the length of the nail. The penny size d
Korvikt [17]

By working with the given linear equation we will see that:

a) n = (d + 2)/4

b)

  • A 3-penny nail is_5/4_inches.
  • A 6-penny nail is_2_inches.
  • A 10-penny nail is_3_inches.

<h3>How to solve the equation for n?</h3>

Here we have the linear equation:

d = 4n - 2

We want to solve it for n, it means that we need to isolate n in one side of the equation.

If we first add 2 in both sides of the equation, and then we divide both sides by 4, we will get:

d + 2 = 4n

(d + 2)/4 = n

That is the equation solved for n.

b) The penny size is d, and n is the length of the nail, then:

if d = 3, we have:

n = (3 + 2)/4 = 5/4

if d = 6, then:

n = (6 + 2)/4 = 2

if d = 10, then:

n = (10 + 2)/4 = 3

Thus:

  • A 3-penny nail is_5/4_inches.
  • A 6-penny nail is_2_inches.
  • A 10-penny nail is_3_inches.

Can someone graph this equation? -7x+35=20-7x
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
We have to isolate x.

-7x + 35 = 20 - 7x
Add 7x to both sides.
35 = 20 + 0
35 = 20

This line is impossible to graph.
