<u>Answer:</u>
333 people of ward 5 are going to be voting for Spike Jones.
<u>Solution:</u>
We have been given that two-thirds of all voters in Ward 5 plan on choosing Spike Jones for commissioner.
There are 500 voters in Ward 5.
Since 2/3 of all voters in Ward 5 are voting for Spike Jones the remaining 1/3 will not be voting for him.
To find out how many people in ward 5 are exactly voting for Spike Jones. We need to calculate how much is two thirds of 500 is.
This is done as follows:
Since people cannot be denoted in decimal points we have to round it off to a whole number. That’s is 333.
Therefore 333 people of ward 5 are going to be voting for Spike Jones.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Solving linear equation with one variable:</h3>1) -4 + 3x = 4x - 8
Add 4 to both sides
-4 + 3x + 4 = 4x - 8 + 4
3x = 4x - 4
Subtract 4x from both sides,
3x - 4x = -4x + 4x - 4
-x = -4
2) -5x - 8 = 2
Add 8 to both sides
-5x - 8 + 8 = 2 + 8
-5x = 10
Divide both sides by (-5)
3) 12r - 14 = 5(2-r)
12r - 14 = 5*2 - 5*r
12r - 14 = 10 - 5r
Add 14 to both sides
12r - 14 + 14 = 10 - 5r + 14
12r = 24 - 5r
Add 5r to both sides
12r + 5r = 24
17r = 24
Divide both sides by 17
r = 24/17
4) 3x - 8 = -(17 + 2x)
3x - 8 = -17 - 2x
Add 8 to both sides
3x - 8 + 8 = -17 - 2x + 8
3x = -9 - 2x
Add 2x to both sides
3x + 2x = -9
5x = -9
Divide both sides by 5
