To solve for x:
Move all the terms containing "x" to the left side of the equation. Do this by adding x to both sides.

2x+x=3x. The new equation is:
3x-1/2=3

Now, move all terms not containing "x" to the right side of the equation. Do this by adding 1/2 to both sides.
3x=3+1/2 The new equation is:
3x=3 1/2, or 3.5

The final step is to isolate x. To do so, divide each side by 3.
3x/3 = 3 1/2 /3 The new equation is:
x=1 1/6

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Jay's estimate is closer to the actual weight of the basketball

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard weight of an NBA basketball is 1.4 pounds.

Judging the accuracy of Jay's and Shawna's answer based on their percentage error when compared with the standard, we have that Jay's answer has a lower error as shown below

Error = (Standard value - Estimated value)/ Standard Value ×100

Error in Jays answer = $\frac{1.4 - 0.5}{1.4}$ × 100 = 64.28 %
