You combine like terms. You could subtract the positive term from both sides and divide to get the variable alone

You combine the like terms by canceling out one side of the equation for the number with no variable, and the one with the variable, but they must be on different sides.

Then, you get the variable by itself, by dividing (in this equation, sometimes you will multiply, if there is a fraction)<span>

Example:<span>

<em>4x - 1 = 2x + 7</em>
     </span><u>+ 1</u>         <u>+ 1
</u>
<em>4x = 2x + 8</em>
<u>- 2x</u>  <u>- 2x
</u><span><span>
<em>2x = 8</em></span></span>
<span><span>
<em>2x </em></span></span><u>/2</u> <em>= 8</em> <u>/2
</u>
<em>x = 4</em></span>

Of all the species in the world, 4 out of every 5 are insects what percentage of species are insects
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

So you basically, just make it a ratio. Since a percentage is out of 100, just make the 5 into 100. To get 5 to 100, you times 20. Then you do the same thing to the 4 which you get 80.

What is the solution to the equation 2(4-3x)+5(2x-3)= 20-5X2​
Alja [10]

Answer:

7-16x=10. I'm sorry I'm not good at math but it never hurts try, right?

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the parentheses first which would give you

8-6x+10x-15.

Next add 6x+10x which would give you

8-16x-15.

Then subtract 8-15 which would give you

7-16x=20-5x2. Then work the problem from there.

7-16x=20-10.

7-16x=10.
