Distribute through the parenthesis
subtract 5 from both sides
divide both sides by -1/3...or multiply both sides by -3

1) Distribute -1/3 through the parenthesis, it will look like this:
-1/3(x) - 15(-1/3) = -4

Simplify: -1/3x + 5 = -4

Multiply each term by 3 to eliminate the fraction: 3(-1/3x + 5 = -4)
Equals: -x + 15 = -12

Subtract 15 from both sides -x + 15 =-12
                                                 - 15    -15

Equals -x = -27
FINALLY multiply or divide by -1 to eliminate the negative "x"
(Basically changing the signs of all terms.)
x = 27.

What is 102% as a fraction
scZoUnD [109]
102% as a fraction would be 102/100, because a percent is by the one hundreds, and you can have a fraction be by hundreds. You can reduce the fraction by dividing it by 2, which equals 51/50. Another example, to clarify, is to make 41% a fraction, and decimal. Once again a percent is base 100, so the fraction would be 41/100, then to make it a decimal, you would put a decimal point in front of the 41, to make it .41. Hope I helped, and if you don't understand, tell me and I will try to make it better.

Help pls and no links
Svetlanka [38]

We know a or b != 0

but a-b==0 so both are the same unknown number

b/a must = 1

so

a/b is equivalent to b/a as a/b=1 as well.

So the last answer choice.
