Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
When there are 2 minuses, they convert into + so that the ewuation turns into:
x+15=23
Then you move the +15 after the = sign
Now that you changed the side, you have to change sign so :
x= 23-15
x=8
2 1/3 x 9=(2+1/3) * 9=(2*3+1)/3 * 9=7/3 * 9=63/3=21
Answer: 2 1/3 x 9 = 21
what i would do is implant some number under 5 for the X's.
Then work it out as if 3 was x so for instance -4(8-3x3)
So
a. so 100-1/10 of 100 or 100-10=90
then second dose minus 10% or 90-9=81
third dose 81 minus 10%=81-8.1=72.9
fourth dose 72.9 minus 10% or 72.9-7.29=65.61
so after 4th dose only 65.61% are left
b. so to get it to 5% you do alot and find that it takes 27 tries to get the percent down to 5.2% and 28 doses to get it to 4.7%
