because the equation would be x•2-4=236
You're just dividing the answer is 4 & the second one is -5
Answer:
4/7 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Required fabric is > 1/2 but < 5/8
Let required fabric = x
Then ;
Converting the fractions to decimal :
1/2 = 0.5 ; 5/8 = 0.625
0.5 < x < 0.625
3/8 yards = 0.375 ;
4/7 yards = 0.571
3/7 yards = 0.429
2/4 yards = 0.5
0.5 < 0.571 < 0.625
From the options, only 4/7 yards satisfies the condition :
Twice a number increased by 5= 2x+5
5 decreased by twice a number= 5-2x
twice the difference of a number and 5= 2(x-5)
Twice the sum of a number and 5= 2(x+5)
Five subtracted from twice a number= 2x-5
Twice a number, less 5= 2x-5
