Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(x+5)=4

open the bracket with -2

-2x - 10 = 4

combine the like terms

-2x = 4 + 10

-2x = 14

divide by -2

-2x/-2 = 14/-2

x = -7

Answer:

<u>-7</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

First simplify both sides.

−2(x+5)=4

(−2)(x)+(−2)(5)=4

−2x+−10=4

−2x−10=4

Then add 10 to both sides.

−2x−10+10=4+10

−2x=14

Finally divide both sides by -2.

−2x/ −2  =  14/ −2 = -7

<u>Answer: -7</u>

A jeweler wants to combine a 60% gold alloy with a 20% gold alloy to make 1000 grams of 50% gold alloy. How many grams of 60% al
kramer

Answer:

750 grams of 60% alloy

Step-by-step explanation:

Define x = amount of 60% alloy and y = amount of 20% alloy

Equating the amounts of gold:

0.6x+0.2y = 1000(0.5)

Since there must be 1000 grams total:

x+y = 1000

Writing the 2 resulting equations together:

0.6x + 0.2y = 500

x + y = 1000

Multiply the first equation by 5:

3x + y = 2500

x + y = 1000

Subtracting the 2nd equation from the 1st:

2x = 1500

x = 750

Answer: 750 grams of 60% alloy

<em>Answer: check explanation for the solution </em>

<em> </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em> </em>

A business that offers services to people by providing many amusement and fun with gate fees

The algebraic equations to be used is the general linear equation

Y = MX + C

Where

Y = total income or money realised

M = rate or price rate

X = number of goods or services

C = flat rate or gate fees

The business can also operate differently by using exponential equation

A = P(1 + R%)^t

Where

A = profit

P = capital

R = rate

t = time
