Steps to solve:
3(x - 1) = 5x + 3 - 2x
~Distribute left side
3x - 3 = 5x + 3 - 2x
~Combine like terms
3x - 3 = 3x - 3
~Subtract 3x to both sides
-3 = -3
~Add 3 to both sides
0 = 0
All real numbers are solutions.
Best of Luck!
Given that,
Total no of cards = 20
The ratio of animal cards to fruit cards is 2:3
No of animal cards = 20
Solution,
Let there are 2x animal cards and 3x fruit cards. ATQ,
2x+3x = 20
5x = 20
x = 4
Animal cards = 2x
= 2(4)
= 8
Fruit cards = 3x
= 3(4)
= 12
It is also mentioned that, of the cards, 1/3 have bananas on them. It means,

Hence, 4 cards have bananas on them.
I'm thinking maybe x is supposed to represent the number of tasks completed because it states Shelly earned 90 points on each task. Then when put together it may look like this, let's say there are 4 tasks= Ex.90 times the 4 tasks minus 20 points which would total the points Terrence's has earned. So i believe x is the total tasks. Hope I didn't make it confusing...
