Write an equation. Use x for the population of the town.

90% of the population is the same as 90% of x.

To change a percent into a decimal, divide the percent by 100.

90/100 = 0.9, so 90% is the same as 0.9.

Now we write an equation.

0.9x = 4761

Divide both sides by 0.9:

x = 4761/0.9

x = 5290

Answer: The population of the town is 5290.

We can write an equation of this, with p representing the unknown population. We know that 90% of the population owns cars:

90% * p

We also know that 4761 people own cars, which is the same as the above expression, so we write:

90% * p = 4761.

From there, you just divide both sides by 90%, or 0.9

p = 4761/0.9 = 5290

The population is 5290 people.

andriy [413]
We are given that there are 11 animals with a total of 34 legs.

 Let G = number of Goats, and D = number of Ducks

 then G + D = 11; solving for G, we get G = 11 - D

 then, 4G + 2D = 34

 substituting the value for G, we get 4(11 - D) + 2D = 34

 expanding, we get 44 - 4D + 2D = 34

 solving, we get D = 5. Therefore, G = 6

 Proof: (5 x 2) + (6 x 4) = 34

Can you please help me again.

Answer: h = 17

Step-by-step explanation: As a general rule, if an equation has any fractions in it, try to get rid of those fractions as soon as possible.

The quickest way to get rid of a fraction is to multiply both

sides of the equation by the denominator of the fraction.

So in this problem, we can get rid of the fraction in our

first step by multiplying both sides of the equation by 4.

On the left, the 4's cancel and on the right, 1(4) is 4.

Now we have h - 13 = 4.

Since 13 is being subtracted from <em>h</em>, to get <em>h</em> by itself,

we need to add 13 to both sides of the equation to get h = 17.

Now, we can check our answer by plugging 17 back

into the original equation shown below in italics.

\frac{(17) - 13}{4} = 1

\frac{(4)}{4} = 1  true statement

Answer:

\huge\boxed{x=-4}

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+9)-4x=11x-13x+23\\\\(3)(x)+(3)(9)-4x=(11x-13x)+23\\\\3x+27-4x=-2x+23\\\\(3x-4x)+27=-2x+23\\\\-x+27=-2x+23\qquad|\text{subtrsact 27 from both sides}\\\\-x=-2x-4\qquad|\text{add}\ 2x\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x=-4
