Answer:
x = -3.25
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5 = 0.4
0.4x - 0.2 = -2(3/4)
-2(3/4) = -2/1 * 3/4 = -6/4
0.4x - 0.2 = -6/4
Convert to fraction
2/5x - 1/5 = -6/4
Add 1/5 to both sides
-6/4 + 1/5 = -30/20 + 4/20 = -26/20
2/5x = -26/20
Convert to decimal
0.4x = -1.3
-1.3/0.4 = -3.25
x = -3.25
The correct answer to this question is "120 ways"
Main Courses consists of Beef, Pork Roast, Duck, Quiche (4), Vegetables consists of Broccoli, Carrots, Potatoes (3), Beverages consists of Coffee, Tea, Milk, Soda and Shakes (5), Desserts consists of Ice Cream, Brownies (2)
The total number of ways can be solved as: 4 * 3 * 5 * 2 = 120
Here, z = kx
k = z/x
k = 228/12
k = 19
So, when x = 18,
z = 19 * 18
z = 342
In short, Your Answer would be: 342
Hope this helps!
The answer is C, when numbers or variables are between "|" (also called bars) it means to remove any negative symbols and think of it as a positive number. If the number is already positive you keep it a positive number.
