Answer:
I am not sure but I think it is 3
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+29=5x+20
5x-2x+29=20
3x=-9
1x=3
I think the answer would be B that’s the only one I consider
Answer:
<h2>x = -2 (verified by algebra) ✅</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are given the value of y, we can replace it with 5x + 7.
We now have: 3x + 5x + 7 = -9
We can now simplify by adding 3x and 5x to get 8x.
8x + 7 = -9
We can subtract 7
8x = -16
And now, we divide by 8
x = -2
We can check to make sure we are correct
3(-2) + 5 (-2) + 7 = -9
-6 + -10 + 7 = -9
-9 = -9 ✅
So for every 6 people with a car, there are another 5 that own an SUV, or expressed the other way around, for every 5 SUVs, there's one extra car. If there are 200 extra cars, that means there are 5 × 200 SUVs = 1000 SUVs, and 1200 cars.
Now let's just quickly test if the math is correct, and if the ratio of cars to SUVs is still 6:5:
1200 : 1000 << get rid of the 00
12 : 10 << divide by two
6:5
Yep, math is correct.
Answer: There are 1200 people who own cars, and 1000 people who own SUVs.
