Remember you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
2x+3(x-4)=x-20
first distribute
2x+3(x)+3(-4)=x-20
2x+3x-12=x-20
5x-12=x-20
minus x both sides
4x-12=-20
add 12 to both sides
4x=-8
divide both sides by 4
x=-2
Answer:
46,125
Step-by-step explanation:
2.5% = .025
45,000 * .025 = 1,125
45,000 + 1,125 = 46,125
Answer:
0.399
Step-by-step explanation:
The key to doing this problem properly lies in knowing and following order of operations rules.
Here we must perform mult. and div. before addition and subtr., but even before that we must do all work enclosed in parentheses first.
(22.8 × 10–3) is evaluated by doing the mult. first, and then subtracting 3:
(228-3) = 225
and
(5.7 × 10–6) is evaluated by doing the mult. first, then subtracting 6:
(570-6) = 564.
Finally, we divide 225 by 564, obtaining 0.399 (after rounding off to three decimal places).
2.5 2 cup servings of flour are used. For every serving of flour, there are 2/3 cups of sugar. So, we need to use 2.5 servings of sugar, too. (2/3)*2.5= 5/3, or 1.6666.... cups of sugar.
