6 - 2/3 (x+5) = 4x solve algebraically for the exact value of x

Mathematics
1 answer:
luda_lava [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - Rewrite

6 - 2/3 (x+5) = 4x

2 - Distribute

6 - 2/3x + 10/3 = 4x

3 - Combine like terms and get x alone

6 10/3 - 2/3x = 4x

           +2/3x  +2/3x

          6 10/3 = 4 2/3x

------------------------------- Convert to decimals

6.3333333333.... = 4.333...x

-------------------------------- Divide both sides by 4.33...x

2 = x

Hope this helps :)

Albert bought some fish at a grocery store at $2 per pound for salmon and $4 per pound for catfish. He spent a total of $12 on s
Gemiola [76]

Albert bought 2 pounds of catfish and 2 pounds of salmon

Let c represent the amount of catfish in pounds and s represent the amount of salmon in pounds.

He spent a total of $12 on salmon and catfish and bought a total of 4 pounds.  Hence:

c + s = 4    (1)

4c + 2s = 12    (2)

Solving equations 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:

c = 2, s = 2

Albert bought 2 pounds of catfish and 2 pounds of salmon

0.27 (repeating) into a fraction. Simplify if needed.
WARRIOR [948]
Dont ask me why...I cant really explain it...but if u have 1 repeating decimal, u put it over 9. If u have 2 repeating decimals, u put it over 99....3 repeating decimals, put it over 999.

Examples :
0.7 (repeating) = 7/9
0.27 (repeating) = 27/99 when simplified = 3/11 <===
0.444 (repeating = 444/999

1. -5(x - 2) - (x + 2) = 50
Serjik [45]

Answer:

x = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 5(x - 2) - (x + 2) = 50 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

- 5x + 10 - x - 2 = 50, that is

- 6x + 8 = 50 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

- 6x = 42 ( divide both sides by - 6 )

x = - 7
