Answer:

14yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary’s age=x

5•x = x•7-28

=> 5x-7x= -28

=> -2x= -28

=> x= -28/-2

=> x= 14

setup a simple algebraic equation and solve.

5x = 7x-28

-5x   -5x

0=2x-28

+28  +28

28=2x

Now divide both sides by 2 and you get that she is 14

Solve for Variable: 3x + 7 &lt; 16<br> A. x &gt; 3<br> B. x &lt; 5<br> C. x &gt; 6<br> D. x &lt; 3
romanna [79]

Answer:

D. x < 3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 7 < 16

To solve, we have to isolate x.

3x + 7 < 16

Subtract 7 from both sides :

3x < 9

Divide 3 from both sides :

x < 3

Now in some cases, you could say that the inequality sign would switch, but this is only when you divide by a negative sign, so keep that in mind.

What is 16 percent of $36.48 ?
vlabodo [156]
16% of $36.48 is $5.84

 9s\frac{is}{36.48} =  \frac{16}{100}

Cross multiply 16 and 36.48 to 583.68, and then I divided by 100, to get the percent of 5.8368, which I rounded up to 5.84%.

Answer:

equation: 4x+6=9

x=0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+6=9

subtract 6 from both sides

4x+6-6=9-6

4x=3

divide by 4 on both sides

4x÷4=3÷4

x=0.75
