Answer:
x = -6/7
Step-by-step explanation:
5 – 6x = 8x + 17
-5 - 5 Subtract 5 from both sides
-6x = 8x + 12
-8x - 8x Subtract 8x from both sides
-14x = 12 Divide both sides by -14
x = -12/14 Simplify
x = -6/7

Step-by-step explanation:
let me know if I'm wrong.
Fraser got 14 questions right
questions correct 70/5 = 14
—— ——
total questions 100/5 = 20
therefore he got 14 questions right
you divide 100 by 5 because percents are always out of 100 and that gets you 20 which is how many questions the spelling bee had
then you do the same to the top (divide by 5) and get 14
14/20 questions were answered right
70% of the questions were correct
Multiply the whole thing by (3a/3a) to get (6a)/(3+1)=6a/4=3a/2, so ya, 2nd is correct
