Solve: 1/5(10x-15) = 1/4(12x-8)

1 answer:

8 0

1/5(10x−15)=1/4(12x−8)

1/5(10x−15)=1/4(12x−8)

Simplify:

(1/5)(10x)+(15)(−15)=(1/4)(12x)+(1/4)(−8)(Distribute)

2x+−3=3x+−2

2x−3=3x−2

Subtract 3x from both sides.

2x−3−3x=3x−2−3x

−x−3=−2

Add 3 to both sides.

−x−3+3=−2+3

−x=1

Divide both sides by -1.

−x/−1 = 1/−1

x=−1

The density of iron is 7.8 g/cm3 . An iron beam has a volume of 10,504 cm³.

myrzilka [38]

The formula to find density is Mass/Volume

We have
Density = $7.8$ $\frac{g}{cm^{3}}$
Volume = $10504 cm^{3}$

Hence
Mass = 7.8×10504 = 81931.2 gram

Answer: Answers provided below in sequential order.

Step-by-step explanation: UV = 12(3)-1

(They said that x = 3)

UV = 35 (12*3-1)

70 = TV

TU = UV

8x + 11 = 12x - 1

-4x = 10

x = -10/4 or -5/2 (simplified)

TU = 8 (3) + 11

TU = 35 (24+11)
