Solve for x: two thirds plus one third times x equals two times x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Salsk061 [2.6K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:  x = 2/5 in fraction form

In decimal form, the answer is x = 0.4

====================================================

Work Shown:

2/3 = two thirds

2/3 + (1/3)x = 2x  is the equation you're given

Multiply every term by 3 so that we clear out the fractions

3*(2/3) + 3*(1/3)x = 3*2x

2 + x = 6x

From here, we solve for x

2 + x = 6x

2+x-x = 6x-x .... subtract x from both sides

2 = 5x

5x = 2

5x/5 = 2/5 ... divide both sides by 5

x = 2/5

x = 0.4

faust18 [17]
Jack's current monthly bill is
  (1200 kWh +400 kWh)*($0.075/kWh) = $120

On the interval use plan, Jack's monthly bill would be
  (1200 kWh)*($0.03/kWh) + (400 kWh)*($0.15/kWh) = $36 + 60 = $96

If Jack were to switch, his savings would be $120 -96 = $24.

The appropriate choice is ...
  b. Jack should switch to the interval use plan, which would save him $24 per month.

Which expressions are equivalent to the one below? Check all that apply.
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Recall from Logarithm law Log a - Log b = Log (a/b)

so, Log 2 - Log 4 = Log ( 2/4)

                            = Log ( 1/2).

Also from the law

Log (a/b) = Log a - Log b

i.e Log (1/2) = Log 1 - Log 2

Recall: Log 1 = 0

which implies : Log 1 - Log 2 = 0 - Log 2

                                               = - Log 2
