We want to solve
$\frac{x}{2x+1} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{2x+1}$

Subtract 2/(2x+1) from each side.
$\frac{x}{2x+1} - \frac{2}{2x+1y} - \frac{1}{4} = 0$

Add 1/4 to each side, and simplify the left side.
$\frac{x-2}{2x+1} = \frac{1}{4}$

Cross multiply.
4(x - 2) = 1(2x + 1)
4x - 8 = 2x + 1

Simplify and solve for x.
4x - 2x = 1 + 8
2x = 9
x = 9/2 or x = 4 1/2.

Answer: $x = \frac{9}{2} \,\, or \,\, x = 4 \frac{1}{2}$

Consider the function y = x2 − 18x. Enter the values for the variables to complete the inverse.

ollegr [7]

<span>In the function "y=x2-18x" the goal is to find the value of the letter x. We know that y equals x2-18x. First, recognize that x2 is the same thing as 2x. So changing the problem to "y=2x-18x". We can subtract 18x from 2x, which leaves us with -16x. Now the problem looks like this: y=-16x. In order to get x by itself, we will need to do the same thing to both sides of the equation. In this case, we want the answer to be x by itself, or (1x) which is the same thing. We divide both sides of the equation by (-16). We are left with the following: y/-16=x. Basically, in words, x equals y divided by negative 16.</span>

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

15 mL of the solution with 20% water will be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the inverse relationship

10 mL * (18-15)% = x mL * (20-18)%

x = 10 mL * (3/2) = 15 mL
