Answer:
x = 52/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3x / 7x = (3x+7) / (3x+7+5x-8)
3/7 = (3x+7)/(8x - 1)
Cross multiply
7(3x+7)=3(8x-1)
21x + 49 = 24x - 3
-3x = -52
x = 52/3
Answer:
I will answer in a general way because the options are not given.
We know that the area of model A is smaller than the area of model B.
For model A, we have 72 shaded sections, out of 100.
Then the quotient of model A is:
72/100 = 0.72
For model B we have 10 sections, and x shaded ones.
Because model B is greater than model A, we know that:
x/10 should be larger than 72/100
then we have the inequality:
x/10 > 0.72
x > 0.72*10
x > 7.2
And we can not have more than 10 shaded sections (because there is a total of 10 sections) then:
10 ≥ x > 7.2
Then x can be any whole number in that interval.
the possible values of x are:
x = 8
x = 9
x = 10
47x5= 235
235 divided by 5 =47
Neals number could be 47
