3+5(x-4)
= 3 + 5x - 20
= 5x - 17
3(x-6) = -12
3x - 18 = -12
3x = 6
x = 2
Simplify the equation.
First, distribute the 2 in the left side of the equation.
Resulting in: 2x-6 = (x-1) + 7
Second, remove the parentheses form the right side of the equation (there is nothing to distribute there).
Resulting in: x - 1 + 7
Now simplify the right side of the equation by subtracting the 1 from the 7.
Resulting in: x + 6
Our goal is to isolate the x to the left side, and the numerals to the right side.
With that in mind, add the 6 (from the right side) to both sides. This cancels out the 6 on the right side.
Resulting in: 2x = 12
Lastly, in order to fully isolate the variable (x), we divide both sides by 2.
Resulting in: x = 6
Hope this helps.
So y=2x is the only answer that fit y=kx, while k=2
Answer:
20 percent
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the percentage that were children, we take the number of children over the total and multiply by 100%
There are 240 children and 1200 total people
240/1200 * 100%
.2*100%
20%
