Mathematics
1 answer:
Anastaziya [24]2 years ago

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x + 1) = 3(5 - x) + 2

Distribute,

2(x + 1) = 3(5 - x) + 2

2x + 2 = 3(5 - x) + 2

Rearrange terms,

2x + 2 = 3(5 - x) + 2

2x + 2 = 3(-x + 5) + 2

Distribute,

2x + 2 = 3(-x + 5) + 2

2x + 2 = -3x + 15 + 2

Add the numbers,

2x + 2 = -3x + 15 + 2

2x + 2 = -3x + 17

Subtract 2 from both sides,

2x + 2 = -3x + 17

2x + 2 - 2 = -3x + 17 - 2

2x  = -3x + 17 - 2

2x  = -3x + 15

Add 3x to both sides,

2x  = -3x + 15

2x + 3x  = -3x + 3x + 15

5x  = -3x + 3x + 15

5x  =  15

Divide both sides by the same factor (15),

5x  =  15

5x/5 = 15/5

x = 15/5

x = 3

Hence, the answer is 3.

Is there a correct answer to this?
mina [271]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Their are 18 medical professionals in total. Their are 3 doctors and 15 nurses. This means that only 17% of the medical professionals are doctors. 10 of the medical professionals are female, leaving the fact that 8 are male. This means that 44% of the Medical professionals are males. If we add these values it would be a total of 61%. We don't need a fractional value because we can use process of elimination. It is more than 1/2 so we can eliminate the 1st and the second answer. In addition to this all these values are out of 18 people therefore the answer would be 8/18
