Answer: add (+2) to each side so add 2 to -2 and also add 2 to 60 which you will end up with 3x=62 and from there divide each side by 3 so 3 divided by 3 (which is x) and 62 divided by 3 (which is 20.6) so x=20.6

Solve 7y-6=2y+8 show clear algebraic working

aniked [119]

1) subtract 2y in both sides: (7y-2y)-6=(2y-2y)+8 which is 5y-6=8
2) Add 6 to both sides: 5y(-6+6)=8+6 which is 5y=14
3) Divide 5 on both sides: 5y/5=14/5 which is y=14/5 or y=2.8 or y=2 4/5

A student has passed 60 percent of the 20 quizzes he has written so far successfully. If the student writes 50 quizzes during th

NikAS [45]

60% of 20 quizzes = 60/100*20 quizzes = 12 quizzes

Amount of quizzes remaining = 50 quizzes - 20 quizzes = 30 quizzes

He passes 80% of those 30 quizzes, so

80/100 * 30 quizzes = 24 quizzes

So, he passed 12 quizzes from the initial bunch and 24 quizzes from the rest, which totals to 12 quizzes + 24 quizzes = 36 quizzes.

Then, you see that he passed 36 quizzes, out of the total 50 quizzes, so the ratio is 36 quizzes / 50 quizzes = 36/50, which when converted as a percentage is 36/50 * 100% = 72%.

Therefore, he passed 72% of the quizzes for the entire year.
