You can subtract 4x from each side of the equation.
Then you'll have the variable only on one side.
Before: 5x - 7 = 4x - 1
After: x - 7 = - 1
Now it's a lot easier to solve.
========================================
I just noticed that you're giving 10 points for this one.
That's a bunch, so I guess I owe you some more ...
I really ought to go ahead and finish the solution:
Original equation: 5x - 7 = 4x - 1
Subtract 4x from each side: x - 7 = - 1
Add 7 to each side: x = 6
(Once you subtracted 4x from each side,
there really wasn't much more left to do.)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
2/20 : 1/40
A). First re-write the ratio as follows;
(i) Change the ratio sign to division (÷). i.e
2/20 ÷ 1/40
(ii) Solve the expression by changing the division to multiplication(×). This also means you will need to swap the numerator and the denominator of the second term. i.e (1 / 40) becomes (40 / 1)
(2/20) × (40 / 1) =
×
= 
B). Now convert the result from above to unit rate. A unit rate is a rate in which the denominator has a value of 1.
So to convert
to unit rate, we keep simplifying until the denominator becomes 1.
And since the denominator is already 1, there is no need for further simplification.
Therefore, 2/20 : 1/40 to unit rate is 
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Just add every number and divide by 4. The question is basically asking for average/mean of his previous expenditure.
Answer: NONE
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Consider that m is the degree of the numerator and n is the degree of the denominator.
The rules for horizontal asymptote (H.A.) are as follows:
If m > n then no H.A. (use long division to find the slant asymptote)
If m = n then H.A. is y = leading coefficient of numerator/leading coefficient of denominator
If m < n then H.A. is y = 0
Given: g(x) = 5x⁵/(x³ - 2x + 1)
--> m = 5, n = 3
Since m > n then there is no H.A.
