So the problem has no symbols, but we're going to multiply because the fraction on the left is right next to the parentheses.
-5/2 * 1/10x = -5x/20
I put "x" next to the 5 because the "x" counts as part of the numerator. Now that it's 5x over 20 that equals one, I'd first reduce -5x/20 into -x/4, then do
-x/4 * -4 = 1 * -4
To make the "x" side equal one, we have to multiply both sides by -4, to make both sides equal.
x = -4.
It’s phrased very weird, but I believe I have it figured out.
On the map, there distance of the race is 41.9 inches.
So, (41.9)(400) = 16760 feet
$18,617.75 is the answer
$87,525-$77,100=$10,425 (the amount over $77,100)
$10,425 x .28=$2,919 (the 28% taxed amount over $77,100)
$2,919+$15,698.75 (the already taxed amount in the chart)=$18,617.75

the memory is the independent, because that can vary at will, so it's independently varying at will, whilst the amount of songs are limited to how much memory there's in the CD, so the songs are dependent on the memory availability.
