General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
2.5x + 10 = x - 0.5
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Subtract <em>x </em>on both sides: 1.5x + 10 = -0.5
- Subtract 10 on both sides: 1.5x = -10.5
- Divide both sides by 1.5: x = -7
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute: 2.5(-7) + 10 = -7 - 0.5
- Multiply: -17.5 + 10 = -7 - 0.5
- Add/Subtract: -7.5 = -7.5
And we have our answer!

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Incomplete question
Subtract 7 from -2 and 7 since 7 is currently a positive number
Your equation should now look like this:
-3x=-9
Next you have to divide by 3 on each side to get:
X=3
Since 3 out of 5 doctors (60%) use brand X, solve for 60% of 2,000, which is 1,200 doctors.
