Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(2x−4)−5(x−2)=1

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(2x−4)−5(x−2)=1

(3)(2x)+(3)(−4)+(−5)(x)+(−5)(−2)=1(Distribute)

6x+−12+−5x+10=1

(6x+−5x)+(−12+10)=1(Combine Like Terms)

x+−2=1

x−2=1

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

x−2+2=1+2

x=3

How do you solve 3/5×4 1/6?

Helen [10]

$\frac{3}{5}$ × $4 \frac{1}{6}$

First, convert $4\frac{1}{6}$ to an improper fraction. Use this rule: $a \frac{b}{c}$ = $\frac{ac+b}{c}$ / Your problem should look like: $\frac{3}{5}$ × $\frac{4x6+1}{6}$
Second, simplify 4 × 6 to 24. / Your problem should look like: $\frac{3}{5}$ × $\frac{24+1}{6}$
Third, simplify 24 + 1 to 25. / Your problem should look like: $\frac{3}{5}$ × $\frac{25}{6}$
Fourth, apply this rule: $\frac{a}{b}$ × $\frac{c}{d}$ = $\frac{ac}{bd}$ / Your problem should look like: $\frac{3x25}{5x6}$
Fifth, simplify 3 × 25 to 75. / Your problem should look like: $\frac{75}{5x6}$
Sixth, simplify 5 × 6 to 30. / Your problem should look like: $\frac{75}{30}$
Seventh, simplify. / Your problem should look like: $\frac{5}{2}$
Eighth, convert to mixed fraction. / Your problem should look like: $2\frac{1}{2}$

Answer: $2 \frac{1}{2}$
