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

Mathematics

Salsk061 [2.6K]2 years ago

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

Question

Liz wants to find the quotient of 63 and 0.15. what is the first step she should take?

Answer:

→(Well First 63 ÷ 0.15 = 420) ←

A: divide 63 and 0.15 by 10 Would be my Answer

To add two decimal numbers, first check if they have the same number of digits to the right of the decimal point. If they don't, add zeros to the right of one of the numbers until they do. Then, write one number on top of the other, lining up the decimal points vertically.

The sum of two consecutive natural numbers is 525.<br> Find the numbers.
Luda [366]

Answer:

262 and 263 are consecutive natural numbers whose sum is 525.

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural number are a subset of real numbers consisting in positive integers (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 525) and two natural numbers are consecutive when distance between each other is equal to 1. (|x-y| = 1, \forall\,x,y \in \mathbb{N}) We can interpret the statement mathematically by means of the following expression:

x + y = 525

x = n

y = n+1

Where x, y, n \in \mathbb{N}.

This system is reduced to a single equation and solved afterwards:

n +(n+1) = 525

2\cdot n + 1 = 525

2\cdot n = 524

n = 262

Now we evaluate x and y to obtain the natural numbers:

x = 262

y = 263

262 and 263 are consecutive natural numbers whose sum is 525.
