Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5x−4=3x+8

Step 1: Subtract 3x from both sides.

5x−4−3x=3x+8−3x

2x−4=8

Step 2: Add 4 to both sides.

2x−4+4=8+4

2x=12

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2=12/2

x=6

Answer:

x=6

Answer:

5x − 4 = 3x + 8

5x - 4 <em>+ 4</em> = 3x + 8 <em>+ 4</em>

5x = 3x + 12

5x <em>- 3x</em> = 3x + 12 <em>- 3x</em>

2x = 12

2x <em>/ 2</em> = 12 <em>/ 2</em>

x = 6

one third of a land is on maize, a fifth of the remainder is on potatoes and the rest which is 0.5 ha is on beans. how much of t

disa [49]

Answer: $1250\ m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Total land.

Then for Maize = $\dfrac{x}{3}$

For Potatoes = $\dfrac15(x-\dfrac {x}{3})=\dfrac15(\dfrac{2x}{3})=\dfrac{2}{15}x$

For beans = $x- (\dfrac{x}{3}+\dfrac{2}{15}x)=0.5 \ ha$

$\Rightarrow\ x- (\dfrac{5x+2x}{15})=0.5 \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\ x- (\dfrac{7x}{15})=0.5 \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{15x-7x}{15}=0.5 \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{8x}{15}=0.5 \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=0.5\times\dfrac{15}{8} \ ha\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=0.9375 \ ha$

1 ha = 10000.00 m²

0.9375 ha = 9375 m²

Land for potatoes = $\dfrac{2}{15}(9375) =1250\ m^2$

Hence, $1250\ m^2$ of the land is on potatoes.

A company did a quality check on all the packs of trail mixes it manufactured. Each pack of trail mixes is targeted to weigh 9.2

saw5 [17]

If each pack of trail mixes is targeted to weigh 9.25 oz and must be within 0.23 oz of the target in order to be accepted, then rejected masses x, are those which weighs less than 9.02 oz or greater than 9.48 oz.

Identify az of this sequence: 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25. 1.5

4vir4ik [10]

<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>

Identify a3 of this sequence: 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5,...a3=

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The third term of sequence is 0.75

$a_3 = 0.75$

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that, sequence is:

0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25. 1.5

Let us find the difference between terms

$0.5 - 0.25 = 0.25\\\\0.75-0.5 = 0.25\\\\1.25-1=0.25\\\\1.5-1.25=0.25$

This is a arithmetic sequence

Because the difference between any term and its immediately preceding term is always 0.25

In a arithmetic sequence,

$a_1 = \text{ first term of sequnece }\\\\a_2 = \text{second term of sequnce }\\\\a_3 = \text{third term of sequnece }\\\\a_n = \text{ nth term of sequnce }$

Thus, in the sequence 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25. 1.5

$a_3 = \text{ third term } = 0.75$

Thus the third term of sequence is 0.75
