Total= 2838
x= # of children
3x+5= # of women
4(3x+5)-3= # of men

x + (3x+5) + 4(3x+5)-3= 2838
multiply 4 by 3x+5 first

x + (3x+5) + (4*3x) + (4*5) - 3= 2838
combine like terms

4x + 5 + 12x + 20 - 3= 2838
16x + 22= 2838
subtract 22 from both sides

16x= 2816
divide both sides by 16

x= 176

ANSWER:
# Children= x= 176
# Women= 3x+5= 3(176)+5= 533
# Men= 4(3x+5)-3=4(3(176)+5)-3= 2129

CHECK:
#children + #women + #men= 2838
176 + 533 + 2129= 2838
2838= 2838

Hope this helps! :)

Stephanie spent 50% of x hours at her part-time job. What is x if 50% of x is about 46 hours? Explain how you estimated and whic
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

92 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 50% of x = 46 hrs

Then

50% /100% x X = 46

0.5 x X = 46

0.5x = 46

Divide both sides by 0.5

0.5x/0.5 = 46/0.5

x = 92

x is 92 hrs
