2x+5-x=3 (2×-3) solve each equation

1 answer:

3 0

The answer is x =14/5

2x+5-x=3 (2×-3)

distribute the 3.
2x + 5 -x = 6x -9

Combine like terms on the left.
x +5 = 6x -9

Subtract the 6x term from both sides.
-5x + 5 = -9

Subtract the 5 to both sides.
-5x = -14

Divide both sides by -5.
x = 14/5

26 out of the 65 magazines at the bookstore are women's magazines. What percentage of the magazines at the bookstore are women's

egoroff_w [7]

The fraction $\frac{26}{64}$ represents the number of women's magazines out of all the other magazines at the book store.

To find what percent of the magazines are women's magazines, we can turn $\frac{26}{64}$ into a percent.

To write a fraction as a percent in lowest terms, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100 so to write 26/64 as a percent, we need to find a fraction equivalent to 26/64 with 100 in the denominator. We can do this by setting up a proportion.

40% is the answer
