Answer:
x=8.5
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this equation, we want to find out what x is. To do this, we need to get x by itself.
Perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation. Remember to perform everything to both sides.
4(x-5)=14
4 is being multiplied by x-5. The opposite of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 4.
4(x-5)/4=14/4
x-5=14/4
x-5=3.5
5 is being subtracted from x. The opposite of subtraction is addition. Add 5 to both sides.
x-5+5=3.5+5
x=3.5+5
x=8.5
Let's check our solution. Plug 8.5 in for x in the original equation.
4(x-5)=14
4(8.5-5)=14
4(3.5)=14
14=14
Both sides of the equation are the same, so we know our solution, <u>x=8.5 </u>is correct.
4/5 (20x - 10)...use distributive property...basically multiplying the 4/5 by everything in the parenthesis,
4/5 * 20x - 4/5 * 10 =
16x - 8
Answer:
200 litres
Step-by-step explanation:
let g be gasoline used, d the distance travelled and s the speed, then the equation relating the quantities is
g = kd
← k is the constant of variation
To find k use g = 25, d = 100 and s = 100, then
25 = k × 100 × 
= k × 100 × 10 = 1000k ( divide both sides by 1000 )
0.025 = k
g = 0.025d ← equation of variation
When d = 1000 and s = 64, then
g = 0.025 × 1000 × 
= 0.025 × 1000 × 8 = 200
