Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
8 -(x+5) = 5x - 3
-(x+5) ---> -1 (x +5) = -x - 5
8 - x - 5 = 5x -3 8 - 5 = 3
-x + 3 = 5x - 3
+x +x
3 = 6x - 3
+3 +3
6 = 6x
/6 /6
<u>x = 1</u>

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total pencils = 48
Total erasers = 72
If we put 1 pencil and 1.5 eraser in each pouch then total pouches = 48 pouches
Let p = weight of papaya and g = weight of grapes.
Then (3/4)g = (3/5)p. Since the weight of grapes is x + 28,
(3/4)(x + 28) = (3/5)p. We must solve for x. To do this, mult. both sides by (5/3):
(5/3)(3/4)(x+28) = (5/3)(3/5)p
Then p = (15/9)(x+28), or (after reduction), p = (5/3)(x+28).
