8 x - 4 (5 - x) = -44
mutiply the bracket by -4
(-4)(5) = -20
(-4)(-x)= 4x
8x-20+4x= -44
8x+4x-20= -44 ( combine like terms )
12x-20= -44
move -20 to the other side
sign changes from -20 to +20
12x-20+20= -44+20
12x= -44+20
12x= -24
divide both sides by 12
12x/12= -24/12
Answer: x= -2
No not really because 89,420 cant be bigger than 27
Sorry, i don't understand
Answer:x =24
Step-by-step explanation: If we reverse that we will get x= 32x3/4 which is 24
Total number of peaches = 15
Percentage of blank peaches out of the total peaches = 75%
Then
Number of blank peaches out of the total peaches = (75/100) * 15
= (3/4) * 15
= 45/4
= 11 1/4
So 11 1/4 peaches are blank. If you do not want to include the fraction part of the answer, then you can take either 11 or 12 peaches to be blank as well. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. You can definitely use this simple but effective method for solving similar kind of problems in future.
