Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The first two steps are for the purpose of eliminating fractions. Doing so results in 4(2x - 5) = 9(x - 2), which is to be solved for x.
Perform the indicated multiplication, obtaining:
8x - 20 = 9x - 18.
Then combine like terms: -2 = x, or
x = -2.
To complete the formal check, substitute -2 for x in the first equation. This results in:
(1/3)(-4 - 5) = (3/4)(-2 -2), or
-3 = -3
... which is obviously true.
I think you are missing something, what expression?
If you mean the • dot, it means multiplication.
41.4 wph because if you divide 207 by 5 you get 41.4
