Answer:
x = -3.25
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5 = 0.4
0.4x - 0.2 = -2(3/4)
-2(3/4) = -2/1 * 3/4 = -6/4
0.4x - 0.2 = -6/4
Convert to fraction
2/5x - 1/5 = -6/4
Add 1/5 to both sides
-6/4 + 1/5 = -30/20 + 4/20 = -26/20
2/5x = -26/20
Convert to decimal
0.4x = -1.3
-1.3/0.4 = -3.25
x = -3.25
Answer:
The questions and problem can be chosen in 1260 ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that, a physics exam consists of 6 open-ended problem and 9 multiple choice questions.
The order of choosing does not matter.
So,we use combination to find ways.
The ways to choose 6 multiple choice from 9 is= 

=84
The ways to 2 open-ended question from 6 is= 

=15
Since pick 6 multiple choice out of 9 and 2 open-ended question out of 6 both are independent we have multiply both to find required ways.
Total number of ways is =(84×15)
=1260.
1 pound = 16 ounces
8 * 16 = 128 ounces
1 + 54 = 55
2 + 53 = 55
3 + 52 = 55
4 + 51 = 55
5 + 50 = 55
6 + 49 = 55
7 + 48 = 55
8 + 47 = 55
9 + 46 = 55
10 + 45 = 55
and so on...
I hope that helps. :)
