Answer:
D. x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
NOTE : <u><em>there should be an equal sign somewhere in the given expression.</em></u>
suppose the equation is the following:
3(x-4)-5 = x-3
………………………………………………………
3(x - 4) - 5 = x - 3
⇔ 3x - 12 - 5 = x - 3
⇔ 3x - 17 = x - 3
⇔ 3x - 17 + 17= x - 3 + 17
⇔ 3x = x + 14
⇔ 2x = 14
⇔ x = 14/2
⇔ x = 7
Answer:
James answered 51 questions correctly.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Slide the decimal 2 places to the left in the percentage (85% = .85)
2) Multiply total by new decimal (60 x .85)
3) All done! (51)
Keep in mind that 100% is just 1 whole. Therefor 85% of one whole is .85. In this problem, 60 represents our whole.
Answer:
=5/21L+ -5/84
Step-by-step explanation:
=-(5/7) (-(1L/3-3/4)+1/3/4)
=(-5/7)(-(1L/3-3/4))+(-5/7)(1/3/4)
=5/21L= -15/28+ -5/84
=5/21L=+ -25/42
