Answer:

Answer:

x=−27

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

0.4(5x−15)=2.5(x+3)

(0.4)(5x)+(0.4)(−15)=(2.5)(x)+(2.5)(3)(Distribute)

2x+−6=2.5x+7.5

2x−6=2.5x+7.5

Step 2: Subtract 2.5x from both sides.

2x−6−2.5x=2.5x+7.5−2.5x

−0.5x−6=7.5

Step 3: Add 6 to both sides.

−0.5x−6+6=7.5+6

−0.5x=13.5

Step 4: Divide both sides by -0.5.

−0.5x

−0.5

13.5

−0.5

x=−27

Answer:

x=−27

twice the difference between a number and 10 is equal to 6 times the number plus 14. what is the number?

laiz [17]

Let the number be n. Then 2(n-10) = 6n + 14.

Multiplying out the left side, 2n - 20 = 6n + 14. Thus, -34=4n, and n = -17/2.

Vusi makes bead bracelets in different designs. The first design uses 23 beads, the second design uses 29 beads and the third de

sergey [27]

When the remainder theorem is applied to the total number of beads, the number of beads left is 3

<h3>What is remainder theorem?</h3>

The question is an illustration of remainder theorem. Remainder theorem is used to determine the remainder when a number divides another

The number of beads used in each design are given as:

$First = 23$

$Second = 29$

$Third = 31$

Calculate the total number of beads used for all three designs

$Total =First + Second + Third$

$Total =23 + 29 + 31$

$Total =83$

The number of available beads is:

$Available = 750$

Divide 750 by 83, to get the total number of designs

$n = \frac{750}{83}$

$n =9.03$

Remove decimal (do not approximate)

$n = 9$

The number of beads remaining is calculated using:

$Remaining =Available -n \times Total$

$Remaining =750 -9 \times 83$

$Remaining =3$

Hence, there are 3 beads remaining
