Answer:

632 frogs

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the initial number of frogs were 56 that were already marked, and later on, the frogs collected were 600, out of which 24 were already marked, so we can say that the total number of frogs 'x' should be:

x = 600 + (56-24)\\

x = 600 + 32

x = 632

Hence, the total number of frogs should be 632.

3(negative 2-3x)=negative 9x-4
Andreyy89

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

3(-2 - 3x) = -9x - 4 (Given)

3(-2) + 3(-3x) = -9x - 4 (Distributive Property of Equality)

-6 + 9x = -9x - 4 (Simplify)

-6 + 4 -9x= -9x - 4 + 4 (Addition Property of Equality)

-2 + 9x = -9x (Simplify)

-2 + \frac{-9x}{-9} = \frac{-9}{-9} (Division Property of Equality)

-2 = x (Simplify)

x = -2 (Symmetric Property of Equality)
