Simplifying

4(0.2x + -5) = 12

Reorder the terms:

4(-5 + 0.2x) = 12

(-5 * 4 + 0.2x * 4) = 12

(-20 + 0.8x) = 12

Solving

-20 + 0.8x = 12

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '20' to each side of the equation.

-20 + 20 + 0.8x = 12 + 20

Combine like terms: -20 + 20 = 0

0 + 0.8x = 12 + 20

0.8x = 12 + 20

Combine like terms: 12 + 20 = 32

0.8x = 32

Divide each side by '0.8'.

x = 40

Simplifying

x = 40

Can you write this equation in point-slope form?<br><br> y = ½x + 4?
Svet_ta [14]
Yes.  This equation given:
______________________________
   " y = (½)x + 4 " ;  in point-slope form; also known as: "slope-intercept form" ; is:
______________________________________
    " y = (½)x + 4 " .
______________________________________
In other words, the equation given is ALREADY written in "point-slope form" ; or, "slope-intercept form".
______________________________________
Note:   An equation that is written in "point-slope form"
             (or, "slope-intercept form"), is written in the format of:
______________________________________
" y = mx + b " ;_________________
in which:_________________
"y" is a single, "stand-alone" variable on the "left-hand side of the equation"; "m" is the coefficient of "x"; also:
"m" is the slope of the line; which is what we want to solve for;
"b" is the "y-intercept"; or more precisely, the value of "x"
(that is; the "x-coordinate") of the point at which "y = 0";
that is, the value of "x" ; or the "x-coordinate" of the point at which
the graph of the equation crosses the "x-axis".
______________________________________
Note that in our given equation, which is written in "point-slope form" (or, "slope-intercept form" — that is:  " y = mx + b "  ;
_______________________________________
which is:  " y = (½)x + 4 " ;
_______________________________________
we have:
_______________________________________
  "y" isolated as "stand-alone" variable on the "left-hand side" of the equation;

  m = ½ ;
  b =  4 .

Explain how you can rename 5,400 as hundreds.
balandron [24]

Answer:

The correct answer would be 54 hundreds

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are considering how many hundreds something has, we can simply take away two 0's and use that number.  We take the two 0's off and then we have the right number of hundreds

Cedric orders at least 30 bottles of styling gel per month for his hair care business. The supplier charges $3 per pint bottle p
Rama09 [41]
He buys 30 bottles which each costs 3 dollars. So 30 times 3 means he pays 90 dollars. Plus the 25 dollar handling fee which is 115. However the competing supplier is 4 dollars every bottle for the pint bottle. So if he bought 30 times 4 he would pay 120. That is without the handling money. So thats why he should stay with his
