Answer:
x = 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
4x - 1/2 = x +7
4x - 1/2 - x = 7
4x - x = 7 + 1/2
3 x = 15/2
x = 5/2

Answer:
59.25 currency ; No. of cans rounded to next whole number
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a perpendicular line frrom the 12m. line onto the 20m. line. We get a rectangle on the left and a right-triangle on the right.
Using Pythagorous theorem,
Fence = 
m = 15 m
So, area of the lawn = ( 1/2 ) * ( 12 + 20 ) * 16 sqm = 240 sqm
So, number of cans needed = 240/100 = 2.4 ≈ 3 [Cause cans can't be partially bought ]
Total cost = 3 * 19.75 currency = 59.25 currency
( However, if cans can be partially bought, then total cost = 47.4 currency )
Answer:
2.25 and 4.95
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 7.2
x - y = 2.7
x = 7.2 - y
x - y = 2.7
(7.2 - y) - y = 2.7
7.2 - 2y = 2.7
-2y = 2.7 - 7.2
-2y = -4.5
-2y/-2 = -4.5/-2
y = 2.25
x + y = 7.2
x + 2.25 = 7.2
x = 7.2 - 2.25
x = 4.95
Check: 4.95 and 2.25
x + y = 7.2
(4.95) + (2.25) = 7.2
7.2 = 7.2
x - y = 2.7
(4.95) - (2.25) = 2.7
2.7 = 2.7

Answer:
u = (-21)/20
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for u:
u + 1/4 = (-4)/5
Put each term in u + 1/4 over the common denominator 4: u + 1/4 = (4 u)/4 + 1/4:
(4 u)/4 + 1/4 = -4/5
(4 u)/4 + 1/4 = (4 u + 1)/4:
1/4 (4 u + 1) = -4/5
Multiply both sides of (4 u + 1)/4 = (-4)/5 by 4:
(4 (4 u + 1))/4 = (-4)/5×4
4×(-4)/5 = (4 (-4))/5:
(4 (4 u + 1))/4 = (-4×4)/5
(4 (4 u + 1))/4 = 4/4×(4 u + 1) = 4 u + 1:
4 u + 1 = (-4×4)/5
4 (-4) = -16:
4 u + 1 = (-16)/5
Subtract 1 from both sides:
4 u + (1 - 1) = (-16)/5 - 1
1 - 1 = 0:
4 u = (-16)/5 - 1
Put (-16)/5 - 1 over the common denominator 5. (-16)/5 - 1 = (-16)/5 - 5/5:
4 u = (-16)/5 - 5/5
-16/5 - 5/5 = (-16 - 5)/5:
4 u = (-16 - 5)/5
-16 - 5 = -21:
4 u = (-21)/5
Divide both sides by 4:
u = ((-21)/4)/5
5×4 = 20:
Answer: u = (-21)/20
