Brent wants to know what is 5 x 1/2

or 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

   [ 5 is multipled to 1 being both  in numerator  and then its divided by 2 ]

If we divide 5 by 2 using long division we get 2 as quotient and 1 as remainder ,which gives  

or in decimal we can write it as 2.5 also  because 1/2 can be written as 0.5

b. x- 48 =120

step-by-step explanation:

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
