Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a 1 to 5 ratio. Since 48 is your result after the deduction, you need to set the unknown variable to x and proportion your answer. you have 4/5ths remaining. Divide 48 by 4 to get your 1 to 5 ratio equivalent. It will be 12. Add this to the price after deduction to get the original price.

Solve for x. -3(3x+3)= -2x+5
notsponge [240]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are given the equation -3(3x + 3) = -2x + 5 and we are solving for x. We will have to try to get the equation into the form x = _. That would be our answer.

-3(3x + 3) = -2x + 5

Distribute the -3 on the left side.

-9x - 9 = -2x + 5

Add 2x to both sides to get rid of the -2x on the right side.

-9x - 9 + 2x = 5

Simplify.

-7x - 9 = 5

Add 9 to both sides to get rid of the - 9 on the left side.

-7x = 5 + 9

Simplify.

-7x = 14

Divide both sides by -7 to get rid of the coefficient of -7 on the left side.

x = 14 ÷ (-7)

Simplify.

x = -2

The answer is x = -2.

I hope you find my answer helpful. :)
