You can start by distributing the 5 to everything in the parenthesis.
5x-50=30-15x
Then get rid of your x values from one side, I chose to subtract 5x
-50 = 30 - 20x
Then subtract 30
-80=-20x
/-20
4=x
You can check by plugging your x into the equation to make sure it's right!
$360.00*.28= 100.80
<span>Or do a portion </span>
<span>28%/100%=100.8/x </span>
<span>Then cross multiply </span>
<span>10080=28x </span>
<span>x=360</span>
The solution to the system of equations is (x, y) = (10, 14), where x is the number of 3-point questions and y is the number of 5-point questions. The appropriate choice is ...
The test contains 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions. (2nd selection)
This is a good question... but is there multiple choice, i want to know if my answer matches
