Solve for x. 5x−2(x+1)=1/4

Enter your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

x=  3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x−2(x+1)= 1 /4

5x+(−2)(x)+(−2)(1)= 1 /4

(Distribute)

5x+−2x+−2= 1 /4

(5x+−2x)+(−2)= 1 /4

(Combine Like Terms)

3x+−2= 1 /4

3x−2=1 /4

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

3x−2+2= 1 /4 +2

3x= 9 /4

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3x/ 3 = 9 /4 /3

x= 3 /4

answer:

total cost for tiles and paints is $924.  

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given that a community hall is in the shape of a cuboid. the hall is 40m long 15m high and 3m wide.

the paint will be required for 4 walls and ceiling.

let us find area of walls and ceiling.

therefore, the area of walls and ceiling is 1410 square meters.

given: cost for 10 litre of paint is $10 and 10 litre paint covers 25 square meter. therefore,

therefore, the total painting cost is $564.

tiles will be required for floor. let us find the area of floor.

given: 1m squared floor tiles costs $3. so,

therefore, the total tiles cost is $360.

now let us find combined total cost of tiles and paint.

therefore, the combined total cost of tiles and paint is $924.
