The value of the variable x equation 0.2x+0.2+0.5x=-0.3x+1.2 is x=1.

Given a linear equation 0.2x+0.2+0.5x=-0.3x+1.2

Equation is a combination between two or more variables which is usually expressed in equal to form. Equation of two variable looks like ax +by=c. It is solved to find the quantity of x.

Given equation is as under:

0.2x+0.2+0.5x=-0.3x+1.2

It is a linear equation and will have only 1 solution. Linear equation is a equation which is having a straight line graph.

Adding the coefficients of variable

0.7x+0.2=-0.3x+1.2

Take -0.3 to other side

0.7x+0.3x=1.2-0.2

Adding the coefficients of variables

x=1

Hence the value of x in the equation 0.2x+0.2+0.5x=-0.3x+1.2 is x=1.

Each year for 4 years, a farmer increased the number of trees in a certain orchard by of the number of trees in the orchard the

Neko [114]

Answer:

The number of trees at the begging of the 4-year period was 2560.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s say that x is number of trees at the begging of the first year, we know that for four years the number of trees were incised by 1/4 of the number of trees of the preceding year, so at the end of the first year the number of trees was $x+\frac{1}{4} x=\frac{5}{4} x$ , and for the next three years we have that

Start End

Second year $\frac{5}{4}x$ -------------- $\frac{5}{4}x+\frac{1}{4}(\frac{5}{4}x) =\frac{5}{4}x+ \frac{5}{16}x=\frac{25}{16}x=(\frac{5}{4} )^{2}x$

Third year $(\frac{5}{4} )^{2}x$ ------------- $(\frac{5}{4})^{2}x+\frac{1}{4}((\frac{5}{4})^{2}x) =(\frac{5}{4})^{2}x+\frac{5^{2} }{4^{3} } x=(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x$

Fourth year $(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x$ -------------- $(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x+\frac{1}{4}((\frac{5}{4})^{3}x) =(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x+\frac{5^{3} }{4^{4} } x=(\frac{5}{4})^{4}x.$

So the formula to calculate the number of trees in the fourth year is

$(\frac{5}{4} )^{4} x,$ we know that all of the trees thrived and there were 6250 at the end of 4 year period, then

$6250=(\frac{5}{4} )^{4}x$ ⇒ $x=\frac{6250*4^{4} }{5^{4} }= \frac{10*5^{4}*4^{4} }{5^{4} }=2560.$

Therefore the number of trees at the begging of the 4-year period was 2560.

The sum of four consecutive numbers is 42 what is the smallest number

vredina [299]

Let us take a number x
The four consecutive numbers will be
x+1, x+2, x+3

Thus our equation will be
x + x+1 + x+2 + x+3 = 42
4x + 6 = 42
4x = 36
x= 36/4
x= 9

Thus the four numbers are (substitute)
x=9
x+1=9+1=10
x+2=9+2=11
x+3=9+3=12
