5x + 10 = 7.5x
-5x. -5x subtract -5x from both sides
+10 = 2.5x
——————. divide 2.5 from both sides
2.5. 2.5
4 = x
x = 4

Answer:

x = 4

Move variables to the right and constants to the left. Then divide.

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 10 = 7.5x (Given)

-2.5x = -10 (subtraction property of equality)

x = 4 (division property of equality)

The total length of wires a b and c is 445 cm wire a is 45 cm longer then wire b and wire b is half as long as wire c how long i

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

$a = 145\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a + b + c = 445$

$a = 45 + b$

$b = \frac{1}{2}c$

Required

Determine the length of a

Solve for c in $b = \frac{1}{2}c$

$2 * b = \frac{1}{2}c * 2$

$2b = c$

$c = 2b$

Substitute $c = 2b$ and $a = 45 + b$ in $a + b + c = 445$

$a + b + c = 445$

$45 + b + b + 2b = 445$

$45 + 4b = 445$

Solve for 4b

$4b = 445 - 45$

$4b = 400$

Solve for b

$b = 400/4$

$b = 100$

Recall that: $a = 45 + b$

$a=45+100$

$a = 145\ cm$
