Answer :
x = 53.85

Step by step explanation:
If 78% of x (some numbers) is equal to 42, then we must set this as an equation to find it.

1) Rewriting 78% as a fraction and considering that when we say 78% of some number (x) we mean a product.
78% = 78/100 ➡️ 78/100x = 42

2) Then we can go on :
100 * 78/100x = 42 * 100
78x = 4200
78x/78 = 4200/78 ➡️ x = 53.85

3) Alternatively, simply dividing 42 by 0.78 (78%) would come to the same result :

42/0.78 = 53.85

For the equations given below, which statement is true?

allochka39001 [22]

Answer: C. The equations have the same solution because the second equation can be obtained by adding 6 to both sides of the first equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the first equation is:

$-3x-8=19$

And the second equation is:

$-3x-2=25$

According to the Addition property of equality:

If $a=b$ ; then $a+c=b+c$

Then, you can add 6 to both sides of the first equation to keep it balanced. Then, you get:

$-3x-8=19\\\\-3x-8+(6)=19+(6)$

$-3x-2=25$

Therefore, you can observe that the second equation can be obtained by adding 6 to both sides of the first equation, therefore, the equations have the same solution.

If you want to verify this, you can solve for "x" from both equations:

- First equation:

$-3x-8=19\\\\-3x=19+8\\\\x=\frac{27}{-3}\\\\x=-9$
