Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 23 = ?
x = 7
All we need to do is plug in x =7 to the first equation:
7 + 23 = ?
We simplify and get:
30 = ?
Let number of senators = x, then:-
number of representatives = 5x - 25 so
x + 5x - 25 = 515
6x = 540
x = 90
number of reps = 515 - 90 = 425
so there are 90 senators and 425 representatives.
36000 over 1 to get the fraction of 36000
