Let <em>x</em> = 0.555…
Then 10<em>x</em> = 5.555…
Subtract one from the other to get
10<em>x</em> - <em>x</em> = 5.555… - 0.555…
Notice how the fractional parts on the right cancel. This leaves you with
9<em>x</em> = 5
and so
<em>x</em> = 5/9
4*2=8+10=18 She started with eighteen pieces of candy.

Given,
Perimeter = 88 units
Base = x + 4
Height = x - 6
= > Perimeter of Rectangle = 2( base + height )
= > 88 = 2{ ( x + 4 ) + ( x - 6 ) }
= > 88 / 2 = { x + 4 + x - 6 }
= > 44 = 2x - 2
= > 46 = 2x
= > 46 / 2 = x
= > 23 = x
Therefore,
Length of base = ( x + 4 ) units = ( 23 + 4 ) units = 27 units
Length of height = ( x - 6 ) units = ( 23 - 6 ) units = 17 units

Given,
First integer = x
Second integer = x + 2
Third Integer = x + 4
Given that the sum of all integers is 36
= > ( x ) + ( x + 2 ) + ( x + 4 ) = 36
= > x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 36
= > 3x + 6 = 36
= > 3x = 30
= > ( 3x ) ÷ ( 3 ) = ( 30 ) ÷ ( 3 )
= > x = 10
Value of first integer = x = 10
Answer: 20 oranges and 5 mangoes
Step-by-step explanation:
Define the following:
x = number of oranges
y = number of mangoes
Make the following system of equations:
x + y = 25
0.35x + 1.00y = 12.00
Solve for x:
y = 25 - x
⇒ 0.35x + 1.00(25 - x) = 12.00
⇒ 0.35x + 25 - x = 12.00
⇒ -0.65x = -13.00
⇒ x = 20
Solve for y:
20 + y = 25
y = 5
∴ 20 oranges and 5 mangoes were purchased.
Answer: Step-by-step explanation:
25y + 150x = 250 (÷25)
y+6x=10
y=10-6x
example x=1 y=4
