Answer:

First x=-13 (The sum of a number and three is divided by five. The result is negative two.)

Second x=-10 (Half of a number is added to four. This sum is equivalent to negative one.)

Third x=-3.5 (The sum of a number and two is equal to the quotient of six and negative four.)

Fourth x=3.25 (The difference between four times a number and five has a result of negative eight.)

Fifth  x=12 ( The difference between a number and five is multiplied by negative two. The  resulting product equals fourteen. )

Step-by-step explanation:

We will consider number = x

1. Half of a number is added to four. This sum is equivalent to negative one.

\frac{1}{2}x+4=-1

Now solving to find value of x

\frac{1}{2}x+4=-1\\\frac{1}{2}x=-1-4\\\frac{1}{2}x=-5\\x=-5*2\\x=-10

So, value of x=-10

2. The sum of a number and three is divided by five. The result is negative two.

\frac{x+3}{5}=-2

Solving:

\frac{x+3}{5}=-2\\x+3=-2*5\\x+3=-10\\x=-10-3\\x=-13

So, value of x=-13

3. The difference between four times a number and five has a result of negative eight.

4x-5=-8

Solving:

4x-5=8\\4x=8+5\\4x=13\\x=13/4\\x=3.25

So, value of x=3.25

4. The difference between a number and five is multiplied by negative two. The  resulting product equals fourteen.

(x-5)*-2=-14

Solving

(x-5)*-2=-14\\-2x+10=-14\\-2x=-14-10\\-2x=-24\\x=-24/-2\\x=12

So, value of x=12

5. The sum of a number and two is equal to the quotient of six and negative four.

x+2=\frac{6}{-4}

Solving:

x+2=\frac{6}{-4}\\x+2=-\frac{3}{2}\\x=  -\frac{3}{2}-2\\x=\frac{-3-2*2}{2} \\x=\frac{-3-4}{2} \\x=\frac{-7}{2} \\x=-3.5

So, value of x=-3.5

Now arranging based on values of x

x=-10, x=-13, x=3.25, x=12, x=-3.5

First x=-13 (The sum of a number and three is divided by five. The result is negative two.)

Second x=-10 (Half of a number is added to four. This sum is equivalent to negative one.)

Third x=-3.5 (The sum of a number and two is equal to the quotient of six and negative four.)

Fourth x=3.25 (The difference between four times a number and five has a result of negative eight.)

Fifth  x=12 ( The difference between a number and five is multiplied by negative two. The  resulting product equals fourteen. )

What is the first step to converting from a fraction to a decimal ?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

To convert a fraction into a decimal, divide the top number by the bottom number. What about with denominators that don't divide into 10, 100 or 1000, such as 7? You still divide the denominator into the numerator, no matter what the numbers are.

Select all the exspressions that are all equivalent to 20 percent of 150
Dmitriy789 [7]

<em>Note: It seems you may have unintentionally missed adding the answer choices. Thus, I am solving your question in general to give you the idea of how the percentage works, which anyways would solve your query.</em>

<em></em>

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that we have to determine the expressions which are equivalent to 20 percent of 150.

First, we need to determine what actually 20 percent of 150 really brings.

i.e

20% of 150 = 20/100 × 150

                   = 30

Thus,

20% of 150 = 30

Therefore, any expression that is equivalent to 30 will be included in the answer to this question.

The answer would be 20 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Because, if she makes $5 per week you would just divide 100 by 5 and get 20 and to check you would multiply your answer to see if it equals the amount he/she would want to amount to. Hope this helps! Happy learning!
