2(3x - 4) = 5x + 6
6x - 8 = 5x + 6
6x - 5x = 6 + 8
x = 14 <==

First, you would distribute 2 into the parentheses so you would have 6x-8= 5x+6. Subtract 5x from both sides so you have x-8=6. Finally, add 8 to both sides which leaves you with x= 14

Answer:

15% = 3/20 = 0.15

1.25 =125% =5/4

12 3/8 = 12.375 = 1237.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

15% to fraction , then decimal ;

$15\% = \frac{15}{100} \\Cross\:cancel\:common\:factor ; 5\\\\15\div 5 = 3\\100\div 5 = 20\\\\= \frac{3}{20}\\\\\frac{3}{20} = 0.15$

1.25 to fraction , then percentage

$1.25 = \frac{1.25}{1} \times \frac{100}{100} \\\\1.25\times 100 =125\\1\times 100 = 100\\\\= \frac{125}{100} \\= \frac{5}{4} \\\\1.25\times 100\\= 125\%$

12 3/8 to decimal then percentage

$12\frac{3}{8} =\frac{99}{8} = 12.375\\\\12.375\times 100\\\\= 1237.5\%$

\begin{cases}

solve for "x".

what about "y"? well, y = 240 - x
