Start by combining like terms.

4x + 5 = 13x + 4 – x – 9

4x + 5 = 12x – 5

–8x = –10

x = 5/4

First we solve for x.

Subtracting 3 from both sides gives us –3x < 17.

Dividing by –3 gives us x > –17/3.

–6 is less than –17/3.

The problem tells us that increasing x by twenty percent gives us the same thing that we would get if we decreased the product of four and x by five. We need to find expressions for these two situations, and then we can set them equal and solve for x.

Let's find an expression for increasing x by twenty percent. We could represent this as x + 20%x = x + 0.2x = 1.2x = 6x/5.

Let's find an expression for decreasing the product of four and x by five. First, we must find the product of four and x, which can be written as 4x. Then we must decrease this by five, so we must subtract five from 4x, which could be written as 4x - 5.

Now we must set the two expressions equal to one another.

6x/5 = 4x - 5

Subtract 6x/5 from both sides. We can rewrite 4x as 20x/5 so that it has a common denominator with 6x/5.

0 = 20x/5 - 6x/5 - 5 = 14x/5 - 5

0 = 14x/5 - 5

Now we can add five to both sides.

5 = 14x/5

Now we can multiply both sides by 5/14, which is the reciprocal of 14/5.

5(5/14) = (14x/5)(5/14) = x

25/14 = x

The answer is 25/14.

This question gives two equalities and one inequality. The inequality (sv ≠ 0) simply says that neither s nor v is 0. The two equalities tell us that 4xs and ks are both equal to v, which means that 4xs and ks  must be equal to each other--that is, 4xs = ks. Dividing both sides by s gives 4x = k, which is our solution.

Since we are told that 2x²(5-x)(3x+2) = 0, in order to find x, we must let each of the factors of our equation equal zero. The equation is already factored for us, which means that our factors are 2x², (5-x), and (3x+2). We must let each of these equal zero separately, and these will give us the possible values of x that satisfy the equation.

Let's look at the factor 2x² and set it equal to zero.

2x² = 0

x = 0

Then, let's look at the factor 5-x.

5-x = 0

Add x to both sides

5 = x

x = 5

Finally, we set the last factor equal to zero.

(3x+2) = 0

Subtract two from both sides

3x = -2

Divide both sides by three.

x = -2/3

This means that the possible values of x are 0, 5, or -2/3. The question asks us to find the sum of these values. 

0 + 5 + -2/3

5 + -2/3

Remember to find a common denominator of 3.

15/3 + -2/3 = 13/3. 

The answer is 13/3. 

To solve for x:

bx + c = e – ax

bx + ax = e – c

x(b+a) = e-c

x = (e-c) / (b+a)

To solve, remove the radical by squaring both sides

(√( x² -7)) ² = 3²

x² -7 = 9

x² = 16

x = 4

To solve, remove the radical by squaring both sides

(√3x) ²  = 9²

3x = 81

x = 81/3 = 27

First, simplify the equation:

√(8y) + 18 = 4

√(8y) = -14

Then square both sides

(√8y) ² = -14²

8y = 196

y = 196/8 = 24.5

1. Substitute y in the equation for 4.
2. You now have 6 * 4 = 10z + 4
3. Simplify the equation: 24 = 10z + 4
4. Subtract 4 from both sides: 24 – 4 = 10z + 4 – 4
5. You now have 20 = 10z
6. Divde both sides by 10 to solve for z.
7. z = 2.
