Is this your equation?: 4.5x - 7 = 20
_____________________________________________________________

Your goal is to isolate x. By isolating the x-variable, you effectively receive the answer. In order to isolate x, you move the -7 term [Note: that the sign in front of a number signifies if it's positive or negative] as well as 4.5 behind the equality symbol. To do this, you do reverse operations to both sides. Start with -7.

The opposite of negative 7 is positive 7, therefore -7 + 7 = 20 + 7
-7 + 7 cancels each other out and 27 takes the place of 20. We now have: 4.5x = 27

Since you have to multiply 4.5 by x originally, you have to divide now. Divide 4.5 by itself and 27 by 4.5. This gives you 1 and 6. [Note that a 1 in front of a variable is like saying only that variable]

(1)x = 6, Therefore x is equivalent to 6.

Briefly check your work by taking the original equation and substituting x with 6. If 4.5(6) - 7 equals 20, 6 is our right answer. [Note: Solve with PEMDAS]

4.5 * 6 = 27

27 - 7 = 20.

In summary, x = 6 is correct.

The number of fiction books in a libary is %150 of the number of non-fiction books. the libary has 4,000 books in total. how man
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The number of

Fiction books = x = 2400 fiction books

Non fiction books = y = non fiction books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of

Fiction books = x

Non fiction books = y

The libary has 4,000 books in total.

Hence: x + y = 4000........ Equation 1

The number of fiction books in a libary is %150 of the number of non-fiction books.

x = 150% of y

x = 150/100 × y

x = 1.5y

We substitute 1.5y for x in Equation 1

x + y = 4000

1.5y + y = 4000

2.5y = 4000

y = 4000/2.5

y = 1600 non fiction books

Solving for x

x = 1.5y

x = 1.5 × 1600

x = 2400 fiction books.

Therefore,

The number of

Fiction books = x = 2400 fiction books

Non fiction books = y = non fiction books

a rectangle shape whose length is 4 inches less than twice its width. the area is 30 square inches. whats the dimension
Ne4ueva [31]
Using the given information, we can say the following:
Width (W) = x
Length (L) = (2x - 4)
Area of Rectangle = L × W
Using this, we can formulate an equation for rectangle in question:
x(2x - 4) = 30
Expand and move everything to one side:
2x² - 4x - 30 = 0
Simplify by dividing everything on both sides by 2:
x² - 2x - 15 = 0
Factorise:
(x + 5)(x - 3) = 0
Set each factor equal to 0 and solve for x:
x + 5 = 0
x = -5 (a dimension cannot be negative so this is not the solution we want)
x - 3 = 0
x = 3 (this is the solution)
x = W = 3"
L = 2x - 4
L = 2(3) - 4
L = 2"

So, the length the rectangle is 2" and the width is 3"
