X= -2/11 this is the answer
Dovator [93]3 years ago
7 0
What you do is first  you add 6x to both sides  and then you problem becomes
11x - 8 = - 10 
then you'll add 8 to both sides and get
11x = - 2
So you divide by 11 on both sides because you divide whatever is on the right side of the x and get
x = -11/2

In Mrs.Hu's classroom, 4/5 of the students have a dog as a pet. Of the students who have a dog as a pet also have cat as a pet.
Travka [436]

Answer:

This problem is incomplete, we do not know the fraction of the students that have a dog and also have a cat. Suppose we write the problem as:

"In Mrs.Hu's classroom, 4/5 of the students have a dog as a pet. X of the students who have a dog as a pet also have cat as a pet. If there are 45 students in her class, how many have both a dog and a cat as pets?"

Where X must be a positive number smaller than one, now we can solve it:

we know that in the class we have 45 students, and 4/5 of those students have dogs, so the number of students that have a dog as a pet is:

N = 45*(4/5) = 36

And we know that X of those 36 students also have a cat, so the number of students that have a dog and a cat is:

M = 36*X

now, we do not have, suppose that the value of X is 1/2 ("1/2 of the students who have a dog also have a cat")

M = 36*(1/2) = 18

So you can replace the value of X in the equation and find the number of students that have a dog and a cat as pets.

The Jones family traveled 314 miles each day until they reached their destination, which is 1,256 miles away from their starting
Flura [38]
It took them 4 days until they arrived at their destination.

314 × 4 = 1256

Another way of solving it:

Total amount of miles ÷ miles per day = The amount of days.

1256 ÷ 314 = 4
