Answer:

x = 3.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is (5 - x) / 2 = 2x - 7

Multiply both sides by 2:

5 - x = 4x - 14

Add 14 to both sides:

19 - x = 4x

Add x to both sides:

19 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x:

3.8 = x

Therefore, x = 3.8.

14x - (2x - y) - y
14x + (-1(2x - y)) - y
14x + (-1(2x) - 1(-y)) - y
14x + (-2x + y) - y
14x + 1(-2x + y) - y
14x + 1(-2x) + 1(y) - y
14x - 2x + y - y

Simplify the rational expression. State any restrictions on the variable.

ExtremeBDS [4]

we are given

$\frac{(n^4-10n^2+24)}{(n^4-9n^2+18)}$

Firstly, we will factor numerators and denominators

$\frac{(n^4-10n^2+24)}{(n^4-9n^2+18)}=\frac{(n^2-6)(n^2-4)}{(n^2-3)(n^2-6)}$

we can see that

n^2 -6 is factor on both numerator and denominator

so, it will get cancelled

and n^2 -6 can not be equal to 0

so, one of restriction is

$n^2-6\neq 0$

$n\neq -+ \sqrt{6}$

we can simplify it

$\frac{(n^4-10n^2+24)}{(n^4-9n^2+18)}=\frac{(n^2-4)}{(n^2-3)}$

we know that denominator can not be zero

$n^2-3\neq 0$

$n\neq -+ \sqrt{3}$

so, option-B.......Answer

20 is 25% of what number

borishaifa [10]

Hey there! :D

If 20 is 25% of a number,

we know that it is a quarter of a number.

20*4= 80

20 is 25% of 80.

I hope this helps!
