4(x-5)=8

Solve the equation above for x. Which of the following is the correct answer?

To form an equation from the word problem, first break the given statement into smaller statements.

First, we are given the width of the rectangle as x. We are told, the length is three times width. Mathematically, this means

Length=3*width=3*x=3x

Again, the length is 4 less than 3 times width of the rectangle. Thus, the length of rectangle in terms of width becomes:

Length =3x-4

This is the required equation.

In order to solve for the value of x, we use the order of operations as follows:

The first step is to divide both sides by 4

Since 5 is subtracted, we add 5 to both sides to eliminate it from the left-hand side of the equation

Thus, the value of x is 7.

we are needed to find the portion of pizza shared by 3 three friends. We treat the whole pizza as 1. Now, 1 friend eats half of the whole pizza. Thus,

One friend=1/2 of 1=1/2*1=1/2

Remaining amount=1-1/2=2/2-1/2=1/2

Thus, ½ of pizza is left for three friends to share among themselves. Then, each friend will get

So, the other three friends will each get 1/6 of the pizza.

In this scenario, we use the given scale in the charts to find the number of each coin and selected the right number of coins the student collected. The second options shows that the child collected 50 pennies, 45 nickels, 25 dimes, and 5 quarters.

We use 1 L =1000 mL to convert between the two units. The conversion fractions of interconverting are:

And

Since we want to end up with millimeters, the second conversion is used in converting L to mL as:

Thus, 0.5 L is equivalent to 500 mL.

In this problem, we assume the truck carries a whole cargo. Thus, total weight is 516 lb divided by 1/3. Thus,

We change the division sign to product and multiply 516 by reciprocal of 1/3. Then,

The weight of the cargo will be 1548 lbs.

in the given problem, we use the calculator to find 1.3*0.47=0.611

: we are to find the selling price of the sweater after subtracting the mark off price.

Mark off value=mark off rate*original price

Mark of value=25%*$87

We convert 25% into a fraction, which become 25/100=0.25. Then

Mark of value=0.25*$87=$21.75

The selling price of the sweater will be the original price less the mark off value. Then,

Thus, the approximate selling price of the sweater is $65.

To solve this equation, we use a calculator and find the product as:

2.50*0.25=0.625

we need to form a mathematical expression from the given word problem.

Let the number be x.

Twice a number=2x

Five less than twice a number=2x-5

So the mathematical express from the word problem is 2x-5
