Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2(x - 4) = 5x + x - 10

First, we need to to multiply out the parathesis in the equation:

5x + 2(x - 4) = 5x + x - 10

5x + 2x - 8 = 5x + x - 10

Next, we can combine "like terms" to simplify the equation further:

5x + 2x - 8 = 5x + x - 10

7x - 8 = 6x - 10

Now we can isolate the variable "x" to one side:

7x - 8 = 6x - 10

x - 8 = -10

x = -2

To check our work, we can replace x with -2 in our original equation:

5x + 2(x - 4) = 5x + x - 10

5(-2) + 2 (-2 - 4) = 5(-2) + -2 - 10

-10 + 2 (-6) = -10 -2 - 10

-22 = -22

I hope this helps!

The highest common factor (HCF) of 140 and x is 20
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

x=60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ,

HCF of 140 and x=20,

LCM of 140 and x =420.

Solution:

It is known that the product of two numbers is equal to the product of their HCF and LCM, i-e:

140*x= HCF*LCM

Putting in the values provided,

140*x=20*420

140*x=8400

x=8400/140

x=60

Hence the variable x is 60.

Trina invited 60 people to her party and 42 said they would attend. What percent of people said they were NOT able to attend? Pl
Llana [10]
1. simplify 42/60 to 7/10 (42/60 divided by 2 is 21/30, 21/30 divided by 3 is 7/10)
2. if 10 x 10 = 100 than 7 x 10 = 70 so that would make it 70/100 which is 70%
so 70% is the answer

Hope this helps ;)

Use the integer tiles to evaluate the following expressions. 6 + 3 = 6 + (–4) = 6 + (–6) =
babunello [35]

Given:

The expressions are:

6+3

6+(-4)

6+(-6)

To find:

The value of given expression by using integer tiles.

Solution:

We have,

6+3

Here, both number are positive. When we add 6 and 3 positive integer tiles, we get 9 positive integer tiles as shown in the below figure. So,

6+3=9

Similarly,

6+(-4)

Here, 6 is positive and -4 is negative. It means we have 6 positive integer tiles and 4 negative integer tiles.

When we cancel the positive and negative integer tiles, we get 2 positive integer tiles as shown in the below figure. So,

6+(-4)=2

6+(-6)

Here, 6 is positive and -6 is negative. It means we have 6 positive integer tiles and 6 negative integer tiles.

When we cancel the positive and negative integer tiles, we get 0 integer tiles as shown in the below figure. So,

6+(-6)=0

Therefore, 6+3=9, 6+(-4)=2,6+(-6)=0.
