So first you distribute the 5 to the x and the +2 and get
5x+10=3(x+8)
 then you distribute the 3 to the other x and the +8 and get
5x+10=3x+24
subtract 3x from both sides
2x+10=24
subtract 10 from both sides and get
2x=14
divide both sides by 2 and get
x=7

How many times greater is the value of 3 in 300 than the value of the 3 in 30
Vikki [24]
Well it sounds like you mean smaller, not greater. 3/300 = 1/100 while 3/30 = 1/10. So 3 out of 300 is 10 times SMALLER than 3 out of 30.

Imagine the graph for the relation 4x-5y+20 = 0.<br> What would be its slope?
muminat
4x - 5y + 20 = 0
<u>             - 20  - 20</u>
        4x - 5y = -20
 4x - 4x - 5y = -20 - 4x
              -5y = -20 - 4x
              <u>-5y</u> = <u>-4x - 20</u>
               -5         -5
                 y = ⁴/₅x + 4
The slope would be ⁴/₅.

Why is the quotient of three divided by one-fifth different from the quotient of one-fifth divided by three? Tell a story that c
miskamm [114]

Answer:

These quotients are different because of what division means.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you divide you start with a total and break it into equal groups. If you started with three and broke them into groups of 1/5, that is different then starting with 1/5 and breaking into three groups.

If you had 3 cups of Chex mix and made servings of 1/5 of a cup. How many servings could you get? This is 3 divided by 1/5.

If you want to put tomatoes in 1/5 of your garden and you have 3 different tomatoes you want to plant. What fraction of the original garden will each type of tomato be in if they are evenly distributed.
