4x - 6 = x + 3

Subtract x from each side
4x−6−x=x+3−x
3x−6=3

Add 6 to each side
3x−6+6=3+6
3x=9

Divide each side by 3
3x ÷ 3 = 9 ÷ 3
x = 3
============================================================
Checking work....

Substitute 3 for x in the equation and solve
4(3)- 6 = (3) + 3
12 - 6 = 3 + 3
6 = 6
This is true, so 3 is x

Before an election: 23% said they would vote for A, 9% said they would vote for B, 20% said they would not vote. these all voted

elena55 [62]

It would be B because if the total population was 100 people then 23 would vote for A, and 9 would vote for B. Then, 20 people would not vote. The total number of people now is 52, so there are 48 more people left to vote and at a 1:2 ratio it would be 16:32. If you add 16 to the original 23 for A, that would equal 39 total votes for A. If you add the 32 to the original 9 for B, that would equal 41 for B. And then 20 are left over for the non-voters. Therefore, B has the most votes.
