You do 5 times x and -2 so you’d get 5x-10=7. Then add 10 to both sides to get 5x=17 and divide 17/5 to get 3.4

Can someone please answer this question I need it today please show work and please answer it correctly i
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

24) $495

25) 14%

26) 25/X = 83/100

27) 0.7p

28) x + .085x and 1.085x

29) $221.90

30) $24.10

31) $6.13

32) 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

24) 600 - (600 × 0.25) = 450

450 × 1.10 = 495

25) (106 - 93) ÷ 93 = 0.13978

0.13978 × 100 = 13.978 ~ 14

27) 1.0 - 0.3 = 0.7

28) 1.00 + 0.085 = 1.085

29) 100% - 15% = 85%

240 × 0.85 = 204

204 × 1.0875 = 221.85

30) 25.89 × 4 = 103.56

103.56 + 179.99 = 283.55

283.55 × 0.085 = 24.10175

31) 8.75 × 0.70 = 6.125

32) 80 - (80 × 0.40) = 48

How do I solve this equation: -5/6b + 3/4 = 1/2b - 2/3 ?
Gre4nikov [31]
First get like things on the same side:
-5/6b - 1/2b= -2/3 - 3/4

Then find equivalent fractions to make the equation easier to solve.
-5/6b - 3/6b= -8/12 - 9/12

Then just add things together and solve.
-8/6b= -17/12
-8b= 6(-17/12)
-8b= -17/2
b= (-17/2)/-8
b= 17/16

You can then plug the answer back into the original question to make sure it is the correct answer.

HELP ME OUT peps correct answers only
Elena L [17]

Based on the subtraction property of equality: C. Correct. Jen could have also subtracted 100 from both sides and then divide both sides by -1/2.

<h3>What is the Subtraction Property of Equality?</h3>

In order to balance both sides of an equation, we can subtract same value from both sides by subtracting a value from both sides based on the subtraction property of equality. Same applies to other operations.

To balance both sides of the equation, 100 needs to be subtracted from the equation given. This means Jen was correct.

If she also divide both sides by -1/2, she would get same result as when she multiplies both sides by -2.

The correct description of the accuracy of her work is: C. Correct. Jen could have also subtracted 100 from both sides and then divide both sides by -1/2.
