X=number of females
47-x=number of males
# of males is 2*(number of females)-7:
47-x= 2x-7
add x to both sides:
47=3x-7
add 7 to both sides:
54=3x
divide both sides by 3:
x= 18 females
47-18= 29 males
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
6+2s−8s=18
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
6+2s−8s=18
6+2s+−8s=18
(2s+−8s)+(6)=18(Combine Like Terms)
−6s+6=18
−6s+6=18
Step 2: Subtract 6 from both sides.
−6s+6−6=18−6
−6s=12
Step 3: Divide both sides by -6.
−6s/−6
=12/−6
s=−2
Answer:
s=−2

Answer:price of the bicycle was reduced by 25%
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Old Price of bicycle = $120
New Price of bicycle= $90
Price decrease= $120-$90= $30
Step 2
Percentage decrease = Decrease / Original price x 100
= (30/120) x 100
1/4 x 100
= 25%
Therefore the percentage decrease in the price is 25%
5/8 *23=115/8
115/8 can be simplified to 14 and 3/8
