Answer:
x = -14
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
4(x + 2) = 3(x - 2)
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- Distribute: 4x + 8 = 3x - 6
- Subtract 3x on both sides: x + 8 = -6
- Subtract 8 on both sides: x = -14
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
4(-14 + 2) = 3(-14 - 2)
4(-12) = 3(-16)
-48 = -48

Step-by-step explanation:
Finding the Number
To find the number, we have to translate the problem above to an algebraic equation. The algebraic equation refers to the statement of the equality of two algebraic expressions.
Equation:
Let "x" be the number.
4 is divided by a number - 4/x
3 divided by the number decreased by 2 - 3/x-2
"4 is divided by a number is equal to 3 divided by the number decreased by 2"
4/x = 3/x-2
Solution:
Cross multiply.
4/x = 3/x-2
x(3) = 4(x-2)
3x = 4x - 8
(Combine similar terms.)
3x - 4x = - 8
- x = - 8
- x/- 1 = - 8/- 1
x = 8
Final Answer:
8
Checking:
4/x = 3/x-2
4/8 = 3/8-2
1/2 = 3/6
1/2 = 1/2 ✔
The gcf of -18m and 27 is -9 if not then positive 9, but if you want me to also solve the equation its -18m + 27 is -9(2m - 3) i hope it helps!
If 30% were perfect, 70% were not perfect. So we know that 70% of the total number of photographs is 210.
p(70/100)=210 multiply both sides by 100
70p=21000 divide both sides by 70
p=300
So there are 300 photographs in all.
