Answer:

x=16/3

Step-by-step explanation:

5x−2(x+1)=14

Distribute

5x -2x -2 =14

Combine like terms

3x -2 =14

Add 2 to each side

3x-2+2 =14+2

3x=16

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 16/3

x=16/3

Answer:

x = 16/3

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 2(x + 1) = 14

~Simplify

5x - 2x - 2 = 14

~Combine like terms

3x - 2 = 14

~Add 2 to both sides

3x = 16

~Divide 3 to both sides

x = 16/3

Best of Luck!

Emily purchased lemons for $600. She sold 3/4 of these at a loss of 20% and the remaining at a gain of 20%. How much percent doe

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: CP of lemon is $600.

3/4 of lemon sold at 20% loss

Remaining lemon at 20% gain.

Considering the quantity of lemon remain constant.

Cost price of 3/4 of lemon= $\frac{3}{4} \times 600= \$450$

As given, 3/4 of lemon sold at 20% loss.

∴ Selling price of $\frac{3}{4}\ of\ lemon= 450- \frac{20}{100}\times 450$

Selling price= $450- 90= \$ 360$

Hence, selling price of 3/4 lemon is $360.

Now, the cost price of remaining lemon $(1-\frac{3}{4} )= (\$ 600-\$ 450)$

∴ The cost price of $\frac{1}{4}\ lemon = \$ 150$

As given, remaining $\frac{1}{4} lemon\ sold\ at\ gain\ of\ 20\%$

∴ Selling price of $\frac{1}{4} \ lemon= (150\times \frac{20}{100}+150)$

Selling price of $\frac{1}{4} \ of\ lemon= (30+150)$

Hence, selling price of 1/4 lemon is $180

Loss\profit percent= $\frac{(SP-CP)}{CP} \times 100$

∴ Loss\profit percent= $\frac{60}{600} \times 100= 10\%$

Hence, the loss percentage is 10%

5x + 3 = 6x – 1<br> Solve for the solution

Genrish500 [490]

Answer: x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 6x from both sides.

5x+3−6x=6x−1−6x

−x+3=−1

Step 2: Subtract 3 from both sides.

−x+3−3=−1−3

−x=−4

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

−x/−1 = −4/−1

x=4
