X + 2 = 5
____
4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Multiply 4 on both sides:

x + 2 = 5
____
4
x4 x4
----------------
4(x+2) = 4(5) [DONT FORGET TO SIMPLIFY]

4x + 8 = 20
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Subtract 8 from both sides:

4x + 8 = 20
-8 -8
---------------------
4x = 12
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Divide by 4

4x = 12
÷4 ÷4

Yes! Let me help you!

Here is the original equation, lets solve this step-by-step

(x + 2)/4 = 5

Now, lets find out how. 

We must apply the inverse operation. 

4/2 is the reciprocal, so lets multiply that to both sides. 

4/2 = 2
5*4 = 20

4x + 8 = 20
      -8      -8            Subtract 8 from both sides. (Inverse operation) 

4x = 12
4x/4  = 12/4             Divide 4 by both sides (Inverse)

x = 12/4
x = 3           Simplified

Answer:  x = 3

An element with mass 670 grams decays by 27.3% per minute. How much of the element is remaining after 9 minutes, to the nearest
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
There will be 38 grams remaining.

The equation would be of the form
y = a(1+r)ˣ, where a is the initial value, r is the rate as a decimal number, and x is the amount of time.  Using our values from the problem, we have:

y = 670(1-0.273)^9 = 670(0.727)^9 = 38

Answer:A. The theoretical probability for pink is 95/185 or about 51.35%

B. The theoretical probability for brown is 90/185 or about 47.82%.

C. To find the experimental probability, we will make another fraction. The number of outcomes will be the numerator and the total will be the denominator.

Pink  36/69 = 52.17%

Brown  33/69 = 47.82%
