Answer:
4x+20=
6x-10
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying: 4x + 20 = 6x + -10
Reorder the terms: 20 + 4x = 6x + -10
Reorder the terms: 20 + 4x = -10 + 6x
Solving: 20 + 4x = -10 + 6x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-6x' to each side of the equation: 20 + 4x + -6x = -10 + 6x + -6x
Combine like terms: 4x + -6x = -2x: 20 + -2x = -10 + 6x + -6x
Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0: 20 + -2x = -10 + 0: 20 + -2x = -10
Add '-20' to each side of the equation: 20 + -20 + -2x = -10 + -20
Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0: 0 + -2x = -10 + -20: -2x = -10 + -20
Combine like terms: -10 + -20 = -30: -2x = -30
Divide each side by '-2': x = 15
Simplifying: x = 15
A bar model can be used to a subtraction problem by showing how much of it your actually losing or winning so subtract the totals and you have gotten your answer.
It can be helpful to remember that "%" is just a shorthand way to write "/100" (divided by 100, or per 100, or per cent). ("Cent" is often used to refer to 100 or 1/100. A "cent" is 1/100 of a dollar, or 1/100 of an acre, for example. A <em>cent</em>ury is 100 years.)
Make the denominator of your fraction be 100. Multiply numerator and denominator by 20/20.
(2/5)×(20/20) = 40/100 = 40%
You can also get there via decimals.
... 2/5 = 0.4 = 0.40 (40 hundredths) = 40/100 (40 hundredths) = 40%
Or, you can multiply by 100%.
... (2/5)×(100%) = (200/5)% = 40%
