Answer:
x = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
.20x + .68(120 - x) = .54(120) (Distribute .68 to 120 and -x)
.20x + 81.6 - .68x = .54(120) (multiply .54 and 120)
.20x + 81.6 - .68x = 69.6 ( add .20x and -.68x)
-.48x + 81.6 = 69.6 ( subtract 81.6 on each side)
-.48x = -12 (divide -12 by -.48)
x=3
No, it would be -14/20
When you subtract from a negative your answer is still going to be negative.
-7 - 7 = -14
