Answer:
The answer is x= -4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x-4)=12x
=3x-12=12x
=3x-3x-12=12x-3x
-12=9x
To find x divide both sides by 9.
-12÷9=9x÷9
-4/3=x
Let x = number of problems on test
If he got 14 wrong, then x - 14 is the number correct.

x - 14 = .72x
.28x - 14 = 0
.28x = 14
x = 50
The test consisted of 50 problems.
Let us assume the amount of baskets Joe scored = x baskets.
4 times of x is 4x.
4x+x = 5x.
Therefore, Peter scored = 5x.
Together they scored = 32 baskets.
Sum of Peter score and Joe score = 32.
x+5x = 32.
6x = 32.
Dividing both sides by 6, we get
x = 32/6
= 16/3.
x= 16/3.
<h3>Joe scored = 16/3 baskets.</h3><h3>Peter scored = 5 × 16/3 = 80/3 baskets.</h3>
