Solve for x:x/5 - 2 = x/2 + 3
Put each term in x/5 - 2 over the common denominator 5: x/5 - 2 = x/5 - (10)/5:x/5 - (10)/5 = x/2 + 3
x/5 - (10)/5 = (x - 10)/5:(x - 10)/5 = x/2 + 3
Put each term in x/2 + 3 over the common denominator 2: x/2 + 3 = x/2 + 6/2:(x - 10)/5 = x/2 + 6/2
x/2 + 6/2 = (x + 6)/2:(x - 10)/5 = (x + 6)/2
Multiply both sides by 10:(10 (x - 10))/5 = (10 (x + 6))/2
10/5 = (5×2)/5 = 2:2 (x - 10) = (10 (x + 6))/2
10/2 = (2×5)/2 = 5:2 (x - 10) = 5 (x + 6)
Expand out terms of the left hand side:2 x - 20 = 5 (x + 6)
Expand out terms of the right hand side:2 x - 20 = 5 x + 30
Subtract 5 x from both sides:(2 x - 5 x) - 20 = (5 x - 5 x) + 30
2 x - 5 x = -3 x:-3 x - 20 = (5 x - 5 x) + 30
5 x - 5 x = 0:-3 x - 20 = 30
Add 20 to both sides:(20 - 20) - 3 x = 20 + 30
20 - 20 = 0:-3 x = 30 + 20
30 + 20 = 50:-3 x = 50
Divide both sides of -3 x = 50 by -3:(-3 x)/(-3) = 50/(-3)
(-3)/(-3) = 1:x = 50/(-3)
Multiply numerator and denominator of 50/(-3) by -1:Answer:  x = (-50)/3

Arisa [49]

Answer:

2 3/6

Step-by-step explanation:

You must turn 1 2/3 and 1 1/2 into improper fractions. You then multiply them and get an answer of 15/6, but since 6 can go into 15 twice (6x2=12+3=15), you get a whole of 2 and 3/6.

In your top dresser drawer are 6 blue socks and 10 grey socks, unpaired and mixed up. One dark morning you pull two socks from t
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

D) 0.500

Step-by-step explanation:

Blue Socks = 6

Grey socks = 10

Probabilities to find :

Since there are a total of 16 socks, the probability of both socks being blue is  

Probability(blue) = (\frac{6}{16} ) \frac{5}{15} =\frac{30}{240} =\frac{1}{8}

The probability of both being grey is  

Probability(grey)  =(\frac{10}{16} ) \frac{9}{15} =\frac{90}{240} =\frac{3}{8}

(Note: After 1 sock is picked , next sock drawn would have a different probability as 1 sock is already picked so it would be 1 minus the total socks available of that color)

The probability two socks match:

Probability(blue) + Probability(grey) = \frac{1}{8} + \frac{3}{8}  = \frac{4}{8}  =\frac{1}{2} = 0.500
