Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2.5(6x−4)=10+4(1.5+0.5x)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2.5(6x−4)=10+4(1.5+0.5x)

(2.5)(6x)+(2.5)(−4)=10+(4)(1.5)+(4)(0.5x)(Distribute)

15x+−10=10+6+2x

15x−10=(2x)+(10+6)(Combine Like Terms)

15x−10=2x+16

15x−10=2x+16

Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides.

15x−10−2x=2x+16−2x

13x−10=16

Step 3: Add 10 to both sides.

13x−10+10=16+10

13x=26

Step 4: Divide both sides by 13.  

x=2

Mon wants to make 5 lbs of the sugar syrup. How much water and how much sugar does he need…
nata0808 [166]
Whatever% of anything, is just (whatever/100) * anything.

the syrup is going to be 5lbs total, that includes the sugar in it as well as the water mix.

keeping in mind that the syrup will be a 1.5% syrup, namely 1.5% of it will be sugar, the rest just water then, how much is 1.5% of 5?

well, is just(1.5/100) * 5 or 0.075, namely lbs.

so, 0.075 lbs will be sugar and the rest water, the rest will be 5 - 0.075, or 4.925 lbs.

Parallelogram FGHJ was dilated and translated to form
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:  The required scale factor of the dilation is 4.  

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the parallelogram FGHJ was dilated and translated to form similar parallelogram F'G'H'J'.

We are to find the scale factor of the dilation.

From the graph, we note that

JH = 2 units   and   J'H' = 8 units.

We know that

\textup{Scale factor of dilation}=\dfrac{\textup{length of a side of the dilated figure}}{\textup{length of the correponding side of the original figure}}.

Therefore, the scale factor of the given dilation is

S=\dfrac{J'H'}{JH}\\\\\\\Rightarrow S=\dfrac{8}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow S=4.

Thus, the required scale factor of the dilation is 4.
