Solve for x.

7x = 42

7x = 42

Divide both sides by 7

x = 6

To solve for x:

42/x = 5/2

Cross-multiply:

5x = 84

Divide both sides by 5:

x = 16.8

To find the number:

Let x be the number.

25% of x is 60.

Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100:

25/100 = 0.25

Write an equation and solve for x:

0.25x = 60

Divide both sides by 0.25:

x = 240

Therefore, 60 is 25% of 240.

X=6

42/x=5/2

60 is 25% of what number

If you invest $1600 at 5.25% for 18 mouths, how much simple interest is earned

First, we need to convert the time from months to years by dividing by 12:

18 months ÷ 12 months/year = 1.5 years

Next, we can use the formula for simple interest:

I = P * r * t

Where:
I = Interest earned
P = Principal (initial investment)
r = interest rate (as a decimal)
t = time in years

Substitute the given values and solve for I:

I = $1600 * 0.0525 * 1.5
I = $126

Therefore, the simple interest earned is $126.

A pair of jeans originally cost $85 but are on sale for 45% off what is the sale price.

To find the sale price of the jeans:

1. Calculate the discount:
Discount = 85 * 0.45
Discount = 38.25

2. Subtract the discount from the original price:
Sale Price = 85 - 38.25
Sale Price = 46.75

Therefore, the sale price of the jeans after a 45% discount is $46.75.

A pair of flip flops is $30 how much will they cost after a 20% discount and 6.5% tax

To find the final cost of the flip flops after the discount and tax:

1. Calculate the discount:
Discount = $30 * 0.20
Discount = $6

2. Subtract the discount from the original price:
Subtotal = $30 - $6
Subtotal = $24

3. Calculate the tax:
Tax = $24 * 0.065
Tax = $1.56

4. Add the tax to the subtotal:
Total Cost = $24 + $1.56
Total Cost = $25.56

Therefore, the flip flops will cost $25.56 after a 20% discount and 6.5% tax.

Which is a better deal 18 oz for $6.60 or 12 oz for $4.75

To compare which deal is better, we need to calculate the unit price of each option:

For the first option, the unit price is:

Price per oz = $6.60 ÷ 18 oz
Price per oz = $0.3667/oz

For the second option, the unit price is:

Price per oz = $4.75 ÷ 12 oz
Price per oz = $0.3958/oz

Therefore, the first option of 18 oz for $6.60 has a lower unit price than the second option of 12 oz for $4.75. This means that the first option is a better deal for the amount of cereal you get per dollar.

-18+10

-18 + 10 = -8

—17 - (-25)

When subtracting a negative number, we can rewrite the expression as addition of the opposite.

-17 - (-25) is the same as -17 + 25

-17 + 25 = 8

Therefore, -17 - (-25) is equal to 8.

-125/5

-125 divided by 5 is equal to -25.

Therefore, -125/5 = -25.

-2 (16)

-2(16) means to multiply -2 by 16.

-2(16) = -32

Therefore, -2(16) is equal to -32.

-22+14

________
2(-10)

We can simplify the expression as follows:

-22 + 14 = -8

2(-10) = -20

Therefore, the expression simplifies to:

-8/-20

We can simplify this further by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 4:

(-8/-20) ÷ 4/4 = 2/5

Therefore, (-22 + 14) ÷ 2(-10) is equal to 2/5.

2 4/5- 6 2/15

To subtract mixed numbers, we need to convert them into improper fractions first:

2 4/5 = (2 x 5 + 4)/5 = 14/5
6 2/15 = (6 x 15 + 2)/15 = 92/15

Now we can subtract:

2 4/5 - 6 2/15 = 14/5 - 92/15

To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator, which is 15:

14/5 * 3/3 = 42/15
92/15

Now, we can subtract:

42/15 - 92/15 = -50/15

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 5:

-50/15 ÷ 5/5 = -10/3

Therefore, 2 4/5 - 6 2/15 is equal to -10/3 or -3 1/3 as a mixed number.

-10x+8

There's no operation given to perform with -10x + 8. The given expression -10x + 8 is already simplified as much as it can be. If you have additional information or another expression to combine it with, feel free to ask!

-10x +8=

The equation -10x + 8 = 0 can be solved for x by isolating x on one side of the equation.

We can start by subtracting 8 from both sides:

-10x + 8 - 8 = 0 - 8

Simplifying the left side:

-10x = -8

Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by -10:

-10x / -10 = -8 / -10

Simplifying:

x = 0.8

Therefore, the solution to the equation -10x + 8 = 0 is x = 0.8.

Distribute 4(-3x+2)

To distribute 4 to the expression -3x+2, we need to multiply 4 by each term inside the parentheses:

4(-3x+2) = (4 x -3x) + (4 x 2)

Simplifying:

= -12x + 8

Therefore, the result after distributing 4 to the expression -3x+2 is -12x + 8.

Add (13x+2) + (7x-10)=

To add (13x+2) + (7x-10), we can combine like terms:

13x + 2 + 7x - 10

Combine 13x and 7x:

20x + 2 - 10

Simplify:

20x - 8

Therefore, (13x+2) + (7x-10) simplifies to 20x - 8.

Subtract (20a-10)-(-12a-3)

When subtracting a negative expression, we can rewrite it as addition of the opposite.

(20a-10) - (-12a-3) is the same as (20a - 10) + (12a+3)

Now we can combine like terms and simplify:

20a + 12a - 10 + 3 = 32a - 7

Therefore, (20a-10) - (-12a-3) is equal to 32a - 7.

Simplify -10y+8-y+2x+x -3

To simplify -10y+8-y+2x+x-3, we can combine like terms:

-10y - y + 2x + x + 8 - 3

Simplify like terms:

-11y + 3x + 5

Therefore, -10y+8-y+2x+x-3 simplifies to -11y + 3x + 5.
