Olegator [25]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

2x/3-5=-9

First let's get rid of the 5 so the opposite of subtraction is addition

-9+5=-4

2x/3=-4

Next division so multiply by 3

2x=-12

2x/2= x     -12/2= -6

divide the x to get your final answer

x=-6

Giving the following information:

A store is running a sale where all of the items are 35% off the normal price. The price of a video game you want to buy is normally $61.97.

<u>To calculate the discounted selling price, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Alex

Answer:

252 bags of maize

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that a farmer harvested maize

In the year 2012 = 144 bags of maize

In the year 2013(following year) the harvest decreased in the ratio 3:4

This means

3:4 = 2013: 2012.

Where number of bags harvested in 2013 = unknown = x

3/4 = x/ 144

Cross multiply 4x = 3 × 144

x = 3 × 144/ 4

× = 108

This means 108 bags of maize was harvested in 2013

The total number of bags harvested is = 108 + 144

= 252 bags of maize.
