Answer:

x = 10.4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Multiply each side by 5 to remove it as a fraction

2. it cancels out on the left leaving 10x - 4 = 100

3. Add 4 to each side canceling it out on the left and leaving 10x = 104

4. Divide each side by 10 to get x by itself

5. 10x/100 = 104/10

6. x = 10.4

If a and b represent numbers, which of the following statements represents the commutative property of multiplication?

Gemiola [76]

The commutative property of multiplication states that the numbers can be multiplied in any order.

a+b = b+a : Commutative property of addition

a*b = b*a : Commutative property of multiplication

a+0=a : Additive identity property

a*1 =a : Multiplicative identity property

Answer : a*b =b*a

please help John's age increased by 11 is 5 less than 5 times his age. How old is he? If x represents John's age, which of the f

Keith_Richards [23]

So x is John's age.
We can solve this problem by working backwards.
Since it's 5 times his age, we first do 5x.
And then since it's five less, we move on to 5x - 5
And then we add the John's age is increased by 11: 5x - 5 = x + 11
I hope this helped :)
(It should be the second one you listed)

a pyramid whose altitude is 5ft weighs 800lbs. at what distance from its vertex must it be cut by a plane parallel to its base s

slavikrds [6]

A structure which has a square base and four triangular sides meeting at a point is called pyramid.

At distance of 3.97 feet from its vertex , pyramid is cut by plane so that the two solids of equal weight will be formed.

<u>It is assumed that weight of pyramid is proportional to its volume.</u>

So, $w = k V$ , where V is volume of original pyramid and v is volume of small pyramid and k is constant.
