<span>0.5x - 0.1 = -2.9
When you multiply each side of an equation by the same number,
you don't change the equation or its solution. If you want to get rid
of the decimals, you could multiply each side by 10. Then the
equation is
5x - 1 = -29
You should be able to solve that without help.
But I'm about to take your points, so here's
how to solve that equation:
</span><span><span>5x - 1 = -29
Add 1 to each side: 5x = -28
Divide each side by 5 : x = -28 / 5
Simplify the solution: x = -5 and 4/5 .
Again ... this is the same solution as the original equation
if we hadn't gotten rid of the decimals.

Answer:
There is one solution
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + y = -1
8x + 3y = -2
Multiply the first equation by -4
-8x -4y = 4
Then add the equations together to eliminate x
-8x -4y = 4
8x + 3y = -2
--------------------
-y = 2
Multiply by -1
y =-2
Now find x
2x+y =-1
2x+-2 =-1
Add 2 to each side
2x-2+2=-1+2
2x=1
Divide by 2
x = 1/2
Answer:
160 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Company A form $130 a day plus $0.30 per mile
Company A = 130 + 0.30x
Company B charges $50 a day plus $0.80 per mile
Company B = 50 + 0.80x
Where,
x = number of miles
Equate the cost of company A and company B
130 + 0.30x = 50 + 0.80x
Collect like terms
130 - 50 = 0.80x - 0.30x
80 = 0.50x
Divide both sides by 0.50x
x = 80 / 0.50
= 160
x = 160 miles
The number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for Company A and Company B are the same is 160 miles
C, the median is 23 when you add 13 + 10. Then you divide 23 and 2.
