If 15% of 4x is 20 less than x, what is the value of x?

Mathematics

Bess [88]3 years ago
4 0

The sentence "15% of 4x is 20 less than x"

translates to    0.15 • (4x)  = x – 20

Solving that…

    0.15(4x) = x - 20           multiplipy 0.15•4

          0.6x = x - 20           subtract x from both sides

         -0.4x = - 20              divide both sides by -0.4

                x = 50

Determine the intercepts of the line. <br> -5x-4y=10
storchak [24]

Answer:

x-intercept:(-2,0)\\\\y-intercept:(0,-\frac{5}{2})

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is where x is 0 (0,y)

The x-intercept is where y is 0 (x,0)

Insert 0 as the value for x to find the corresponding y value:

-5(0)-4y=10

Simplify multiplication:

0-4y=10\\\\-4y=10

Isolate the variable. Divide both sides by 4:

\frac{-4y}{4}=\frac{10}{4}  \\\\-y=\frac{10}{4} \\\\-y=\frac{5}{2}

Make the variable positive. Multiply both sides by -1:

-1(-y)=-1(\frac{5}{2})\\\\y=-\frac{5}{2}

The y-intercept is at (0,-\frac{5}{2}).

Insert 0 as the value for y to determine the value of x:

-5x-4(0)=10

Simplify multiplication:

-5x-0=10\\\\-5x=10

Isolate x. Divide both sides by 5:

\frac{-5x}{5} =\frac{10}{5} \\\\-x=2

Multiply both sides by -1:

-1(-x)=-1(2)\\\\x=-2

The x-intercept is at (-2,0).
