Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Expand

    8x - 5x + 5 = 20

2. Simplify

    3x + 5 = 20

3. Subtract 5 from both sides

    3x = 20 - 5

4. Simplify

    3x = 15

5. Divide both sides by 3

    x = 15/3

6. Simplify

    x = 5

Multiplying both sides by 3, we get (3/9)*(2m-16)=(2m+4). Next, we multiply both sides by 9 and expand to get 6x-48=18m+36. Subtracting 6x and 36 from both sides, we get 12x=-48-36=-84. After that, we divide both sides by 12 to get m=-7

last weekend, 5% of the tickets sold at sea world were discount tickets. If sea world sold 60 tickets in all, how many discount
Ronch [10]
The percent proportion is a/b = p/100, where p is the percentage of the total fraction on the left side of the equation that you are trying to figure out.

We know that p=5, because p represents percentage, and the percentage 5% is equal to the fraction 5/100.  Also, we know that 60 = b, or the denominator as this is the entire portion that we are trying to figure out.

a/60=5/100

Now, we need to use cross products, or multiplying the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other, and setting them equal to one another.

100 * a = 60 * 5

If we simplify by multiplying, then we get the equation:

100a = 300

When we divide the variable by the coefficient, we get the equation

a=3

Therefore, sea world sold 3 discount tickets.
