Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
1 - Rewrite
6 - 2/3 (x+5) = 4x
2 - Distribute
6 - 2/3x + 10/3 = 4x
3 - Combine like terms and get x alone
6 10/3 - 2/3x = 4x
+2/3x +2/3x
6 10/3 = 4 2/3x
------------------------------- Convert to decimals
6.3333333333.... = 4.333...x
-------------------------------- Divide both sides by 4.33...x
2 = x
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
9 boys and 12 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
if you multiply the denominators by 3, you get "out of" 21. All you need to do after that is multiply the top by 3 as well and it tells you there are 9 boys and 12 girls.
The answer is 17. The decimal point needed to be moved by 2 places to the right since the divisor is a decimal.
