<u>Answer:</u>
There are two approaches to solving the equation -3x + 10 = 4x - 20. The value of x after solving in both methods is 4.2857.
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, equation is -3x + 10 = 4x – 20.
We have to solve the given equation in two methods, now let us see the first method.
<u><em>1st method ⇒ by subtracting 4x from both sides.</em></u>
Then, -3x + 10 = 4x – 20 ⇒ -3x + 10 – 4x = 4x – 20 – 4x ⇒ -3x – 4x = -20 – 10 ⇒ -7x = -30 ⇒ 7x = 30
Then, x = 
Now, let us use the 2nd method.
<em><u>2nd method ⇒ by adding 3x on both sides.</u></em>
Then, -3x + 10 = 4x – 20 ⇒ -3x + 10 + 3x = 4x – 20 + 3x
⇒ 10 + 20 = 4x + 3x
⇒ 7x = 30
⇒ x = 
Hence, the value of x after solving in both methods is
= 4.2857.
Answer is 4 lb.,12 oz.
As one pound has 16 ounces.
When we convert the given 5 lb. into ounces we multiply it by 16.
5 lb = 5 x 16 oz
5 lb = 80 oz
When we subtract 4 oz from 80 oz
We get
80 - 4 = 76 oz
Which is
64 oz + 12 oz
(16 x 4) oz + 12 oz
Which will be
4 lb. + 12 oz
So the answer will be
4 lb., 12 oz.
Answer: 15.7 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the time in the beginning (in minutes).
Given: The track team is trying to reduce their time for a relay race.
First they reduce their time by
2.1 minutes.
Then they are able to reduce that time by
10
If their final time is 3.96 minutes, then
Hence, their beginning time was 15.7 minutes.
