I’m just going off of what I was told in fifth grade, and we were told it was finger nails. Hope this helps!
Answer:
x = 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
0.3 (4 - x) = x - 1.4
Expand out terms of the left hand side:
1.2 - 0.3 x = x - 1.4
Subtract x from both sides:
1.2 + (-0.3 x - x) = (x - x) - 1.4
-0.3 x - x = -1.3 x:
-1.3 x + 1.2 = (x - x) - 1.4
x - x = 0:
1.2 - 1.3 x = -1.4
Subtract 1.2` from both sides:
(1.2 - 1.2) - 1.3 x = -1.2 - 1.4
1.2 - 1.2 = 0:
-1.3 x = -1.2 - 1.4
-1.2 - 1.4 = -2.6:
-1.3 x = -2.6
Divide both sides of -1.3 x = -2.6 by -1.3:
(-1.3 x)/(-1.3) = (-2.6)/(-1.3)
(-1.3)/(-1.3) = 1:
x = (-2.6)/(-1.3)
(-2.6)/(-1.3) = 2.:
Answer: x = 2.
Answer:
Number : 42
Step-by-step explanation:
This number will be a two - digit number, and hence we can say that it is yz. The ratio of the units digit to the tens digit is given by 1 / 2, so z / y = 1 / 2.
In addition the tens digit is 2 more than the units digit, so y = z + 2. We therefore have the following system of equations,
y = z + 2,
z / y = 1 / 2
Substituting the first equation into the second we receive z / z + 2 = 1 / 2. Using this we can solve for z.
z / z + 2 = 1 / 2 ( Cross - Multiply )
z + 2 = 2z, z = 2
And knowing z we can solve for y. y = z + 2 = 2 + 2 = 4. Therefore our number is 42.
Answer: (1) 14.4% (2) 3.78% (3) $222.48 (4) 21,176.47
(5) $425 (6) 14.3 cents per mile
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
1) This is a calculator question. I = 0.144 --> 14.4%

2) m = 93.33
nt = 36
P = 3000
n = 12

3) <em>same equation as #2 but deduct the down payment from the Principal</em>
nt = 42
P - d = 5,555 - 555 = 5,000
r = 18% --> 0.18
n = 12

4) Gas + Oil = cost per mile × number of miles
1000 + 800 = 0.085x
1800 = 0.085x

5) 

6) 

Answer:
Below
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x/x+3) + (x+3/x-5)
Transform: 2x(x-5) + (x+3)^2 / (x+3)(x-5)
Remove brackets and expand : 2x^2 - 10x + x^2 + 6x + 9 / x^2 - 5x + 3x - 15
Collect like terms : 3x^2 - 4x + 9 / x^2 - 2x - 15
Final answer: 3x^2 - 4x + 9 / x^2 - 2x - 15
