Answer:

x = 9/4 = 2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing to do when solving this equation would be to expand the brackets.

Because the sign in front of the brackets it a negative/minus, it means that we have to reverse the signs of both numbers inside (i.e. positive numbers become negative and vice versa):

2x-(+4-x)=5-x\\2x-4+x=5-x

Next, we can move all the x-terms to one side and the constants to the other so we can solve for a numerical constant value of x.

To do this we will first combine like terms (x's and x's etc.), and then subtract or add that value from both sides. This allows us to move terms to the other side without changing the equation (both sides are still equal):

2x+x-4=5-x\\3x-4=5-x\\3x-4+4=5-x+4\\3x=5+4-x\\3x+x=9-x+x\\4x=9\\4x/4=9/4\\x=\frac{9}{4} =2.25

We can also test this answer by substituting it back into the original equation for 'x':

2(2.25)-(4-2.25)=5-2.25\\4.5-1.75=2.75\\2.75=2.75

In which case the equation checks out, meaning we got the correct answer.

Hope this helped!

Which best describes the relationship between the successive terms in the sequence shown?
Alex Ar [27]

Given series is 2.4,-4.8,9.6,-19.2

To find whether it has common difference or common ratio let us find few differences and few ratios of consecutive terms.

Common difference of first 2 terms = 2nd term - first term = -4.8-2.4 = -7.2

Common difference of 2nd and 3rd terms = 3rd term - 2nd term = 9.6-(-4.8) = 14.4

Since those common differences are not equal the given series does not have common difference at all.

To check if it has common ratio or not let us find few ratios of consecutive terms.

Common ratio of first 2 terms = \frac{2nd term}{first term} = \frac{-4.8}{2.4} = -2

Common ratio of 2nd and 3rd terms = \frac{3rd term}{2nd term} = \frac{9.6}{-4.8} = -2.0

So, the given series has common ratio as -2.0

Joseph needed $125 to buy a new pair of jordan's. His neighbor will pay him $6 per hour to walk his dog and his mother gave him
AveGali [126]

Answer: 14⅝ hiurs

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, we can form an equation which will be:

8 + 6h = 125

where, h = number of hours

6h = 125 - 8

6h = 117

h = 117/8

h = 14 ⅝hours

Therefore, minimum amount of hours he will need to walk the dog in order for him to buy a new pair of Jordans is 14⅝ hours.
