Answer:

X=8

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-4=2x+20 (first subtract 2x from both sides)

3x-4=20 (then add 4 on both sides)

3x=24 ( finally divide 3 from both sides)

x=8

Hope it helped.

5x-4 = 2x+20
5x-2x = 20+4
3x = 24

Bags of sugar come in 3 sizes:

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Medium

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

The cost for the small and medium bag is shown below:

As we know that

1kg = 1000g

So 3kg = 3000g

Now for small bags

= 0.95 ÷ 250 × 3000

= £11.40

For medium bags

= £1.80 ÷ 500 × 3000

= £10.80

So here the medium bag would represent the better value

Komodo dragons are the heaviest lizards on earth. A baby Komodo dragon is 1 3/4 feet long when it hatches. It’s mother is 8 3/4

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

An adult male Komodo dragon is $10\frac12$ feet.

Therefore the male is $1\frac34$ feet longer than the mother.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A baby dragon is $1\frac34$ feet long.

It's mother is $8\frac34$ feet.

An adult male Komodo dragon is 6 times as long as the baby Komodo dragon.

So, an adult male Komodo dragon is =(6× $1\frac34$ ) feet

$=6\times \frac74$ feet

$=\frac61\times \frac74$ feet

= $\frac {21}2$ feet.

$=10\frac12$ feet.

$\therefore 10\frac 12- 8\frac34$

$=\frac{21}{2}-\frac{35}4$

$=\frac{21\times 2-35\times 1}{4}$

$=\frac{42-35}{4}$

$=\frac74$

$=1\frac34$

Therefore the male is $1\frac34$ feet longer than the mother.
