<h3>Answer: 800</h3>
===============================================
How I got that answer:
Create a two-way table showing the breakdown of students who like or dislike either vegetable. This is shown in the attached image below. Anywhere there is a letter indicates we aren't able to determine that value. Luckily we dont need to know those values to answer the question.
----------
Let's say we had 3000 students. I picked some large number that is a multiple of 3. That way when we multiply by 2/3, we get a whole number.
Take 2/3 of 3000 and you should get 2000. So there are 2000 students who dislike lima beans. Write "2000" at the end of the "dislike lima beans" row which is where the total is. Above that we'll have 1000 people who like lima beans, but we dont need to use this value.
-----------
Of those 2000 students, 3/5 of them also dont like sprouts either. So (3/5)*2000 = 0.6*2000 = 1200 students do not like both veggies. Furthermore, 2000 - 1200 = 800 like sprouts but dont like lima beans.
Alternatively, 2/5 of the 2000 students like sprouts but dont like lima beans, so (2/5)*2000 = 0.4*2000 = 800.
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation will be 3+6x=21 since we know that the soft drink costs 3 dollars and he bought 6 candy bars(6 times x or 6x). We also know that the total cost for this merchandise is 21 dollars. Now you solve the equation! First subtract 3 from both sides(since the inverse for addition is subtraction we SUBTRACT 3 from bothe sides). You are left with 6x=21-3 or 6x=18. Now you divide Each side by 6(because the inverse operation of multiplication is division). You have the answer! x=18/6 or x=3! Hope it helped!!
