So first you distribute the 5 to the x and the +2 and get
5x+10=3(x+8)
then you distribute the 3 to the other x and the +8 and get
5x+10=3x+24
subtract 3x from both sides
2x+10=24
subtract 10 from both sides and get
2x=14
divide both sides by 2 and get
x=7
You can pull out a greatest common factor (GCF).
1. GCF: x
2. GCF: p
3. GCF: 8
Answer:
The Total number of Professors = 48
Step-by-step explanation:
Given as,
The total number of Faculty = 136
And the Ratio of Professors to Lecturers = 6 Ratio 11
Now According to question
Professors : Lecturers = 6 : 11
So, Let the Number of Professors = 6x
And The Number of Lecturers = 11x
∴ 6x + 11x = 136
Or, 17x = 136
Or, x =
= 8
Hence, the number of Professors = 6 × 8 = 48 Answer
The answer would be D, I'm sure that is correct so you dont need to check <3 b e l i e v e i n m e
If the last one is supposed to be 7(8+3), it would be equivalent to 56+21
