Answer:

68%

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we simply need to divide 50 by 34. This is shown below:

$x = \frac{50}{34}$

Once solved, x will be equal to 0.68.

$x = 0.68$

Now 0.68 is just a decimal. To change it into a percent, you simply find what 0.68 is out of 1.00.

Your answer is 68%.

What is the relationship between the value of the digit 3 in 4,231 and in the value of the digit 3 in the number 3,421?

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

A.

In 4231, the value of the digit 3 is 110 less than the value of the digit 3 in 3421.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that the value of 3 In 4231 is in ten while the value of 3 in 3421 is in thousands.

So to get the actual division factor, let's take 3300 and divide it by 30,

3300/30 = 110

So it's clear already, that the value of 3 in 4231 is 110 times less to the value in 3421

Combine the terms by multiplying into a single fraction.

$\bf{\dfrac{5}{2}x-7=\dfrac{3}{4}x+14 }$

Find the common denominator.

$\bf{\dfrac{5x}{2}-7=\dfrac{3}{4}x+14 }$

Combine fractions with the lowest common denominator.

$\bf{\dfrac{5x(-7)}{2}=\dfrac{3}{4}x+14 }$

Multiply the numbers.

$\bf{\dfrac{5x-14}{2}=\dfrac{3}{4}x+14 }$

Combine the multiplied terms into a single fraction

$\bf{\dfrac{5x-14}{2}=\dfrac{3x}{4}+14 }$

Find the common denominator.

$\bf{\dfrac{5x-14}{2}=\dfrac{3x}{4}+\dfrac{4\cdot14}{4} }$

Combine fractions with the lowest common denominator.

$\bf{\dfrac{5x-14}{2}=\dfrac{3x+4\cdot14}{4} }$

Multiply the numbers.

$\bf{\dfrac{5x-14}{2}=\dfrac{3x+56}{4} }$

Eliminate the denominators of the fractions.

$\bf{4\cdot\dfrac{5x-14}{2}=4\cdot\dfrac{3x+56}{4} }$

Cancel the multiplied terms that are in the denominator.

$\bf{2(5x-14)=3x+56}$

To distribute.

$\bf{10x-28=3x+56 }$

Add 28 to both sides.

$\bf{10x-28+28=3x+56+28 }$

Simplify

$\bf{10x=3x+84 }$

Subtract 3x from both sides.

$\bf{10x-3x=3x+84-3x }$

Simplify

$\bf{7x=84 }$

Divide both sides by the same factor.

$\bf{x=\dfrac{84}{7} }$

Simplify

<h3>Verification</h3>

Let x=12.

$\bf{\dfrac{5}{2}\times12-7=\dfrac{3}{4}\times12+14 }$
$\bf{\dfrac{5\times12}{2}-7=\dfrac{3}{4}\times12+14 }$
$\bf{\dfrac{60}{2}-7=\dfrac{3}{4}\times12+14 }$
$\bf{30-7=\dfrac{3}{4}\times12+14 }$
$\bf{30-7=\dfrac{3\times12}{4}+14 }$
$\bf{30-7=\dfrac{36}{4}+14 }$
$\bf{30-7=9+14 }$
$\bf{23=9+14 }$
$\bf{23=23}$
