3-7 is -4 so it becomes -4x=4 divide both sides by 4 to get -x=-1 a lot of teachers dont like that negative x so you can also divide by -1 again to make it x=1

A spelling test is given to 400 students in Madison County. Those who score in the top 5% will compete in the county spelling be

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Explanation:

To know how many students will be in the country spelling bee, we need to find 5% of 400.

So, we need to multiply 400 by 5 and then divide by 100:

$400\times5\text{ \%=}\frac{400\times5}{100}=\frac{2000}{100}=20$

Therefore, there will be 20 students in the country spelling bee.

In a little kingdom, the king and the other 65 citizens each have a salary of one coin. The king cannot vote, but he has the pow

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: The king begins by proposing that 33 citizens have their salaries doubled to 2 coins, at the expense of the remaining 33 citizens (himself included). 33 citizens will vote "yes" (because they get more salary) and 32 will vote no (because they get less), and the voting passes. After the voting, 33 citizens will have 2 coins each, the other 33 people (including the king himself) has 0 coins.

Step 2: Next, he increases the salaries of 17 of the 33 salaried voters (some to 3 and some to 4 coins) while reducing the remaining 16 to no salary at all. 17 will vote yes and 16 will vote no, and the remaining citizens will not vote (their salary goes from 0 to 0 so they don't care). The voting passes. After the voting, 17 citizens will have 3 or 4 coins, the rest (including the king himself) has 0 coins.

Step 3: the king does the same thing again: he increases the salaries of 9 of the 17 salaried voters while reducing the remaining 8 to no salary at all. 9 will vote yes, 8 will vote no, the rest doesn't vote, and the voting passes. After the voting, only 9 citizens will share the 66 coins, the other 57 people (including the king himself) has 0 coins.

Step 4, 5, and 6: In successive turns, the number of salaried voters falls to 5, 3, and 2. At this stage, only 2 citizens have all the total of 66 coins and no one else (including the king himself) has anything.

Step 7: Finally, the king bribes three citizens with 1 coin each to over throw the two with big salary, and he will keep the rest to himself. The vote will be 3 yes, 2 no, and rest doesn't vote. Thus the king finishes with a royal salary of 63 coins.

More generally, if the original number of citizens (king included) is N, the king can achieve a maximum salary of N-3 coins with this method.

For your trip to Austin you know you are going to travel 182 miles and your car can do that in 14 gallons. How far can your car

AnnyKZ [126]

First, you need to create a unit rate.
The car travels 182 miles on 14 gallons of gas.
To create a unit rate, you would have to divide 14 by 182.

182 mi 13 mi
———— = ———-
14 gal 1 gal

Then, you would need to multiply the numerator and denominator by 8 because the question is asking how far the car can travel on 8 gallons of gas.

13 mi x 8 104 mi
——— = ————
1 gal x 8 8 gal

So, your answer is the car travels 104 miles on 8 gallons of gas.
