Answer:
x= 15
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use cross products to solve this problem
7 2x+5
-- = --------
3 x
7x = 3(2x+5)
Distribute
7x = 6x +15
Subtract 6x from each side
7x-6x = 6x-6x+15
x = 15
<span>So lets see how does knowing that 5 divided by 8 = 0.625 helps us write the decimal for 4 5/8. First lets write 5 divided by 8 like a fraction: 5/8=0.625. Now we can see that 5/8 is in the number 4 5/8 so we can easily write it as: 4 + 0.625 = 4.625. So this is how it helps us. </span>
(5*7) - (5*4) = 35 - 20 = 15
you "distribute" the 5 but multiplying it to both numbers in the parentheses, and doing the subtraction.
If we write 
where we see 
in the equation and set the result equal to 
, we get the result.
