Answer:

<h2>x = -0.2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

-1(x+5)=3[x+2x-1)]\\\\\text{for}\ -1(x+5):\ \text{distribtutive property}\\\text{for}\ [x+(2x-1)]:\ \text{associative property}\\\\(-1)(x)+(-1)(5)=3[(x+2x)-1]\\-x-5=3(3x-1)\\\\\text{for}\ 3(3x-1):\ \text{distributive property}\\\\-x-5=(3)(3x)+(3)(-1)\\-x-5=9x-3\\\\\text{for the equation}:\ \text{addition property of equality}\\\\-x-5=9x-3\qquad\text{add 5 to both sides}\\-x-5+5=9x-3+5\\-x=9x+2\\\\\text{for the equation:}\ \text{subtraction property of equality}\\\\-x=9x+2\qquad\text{subtract}\ 9x\ \text{from both sides}

-x-9x=9x-9x+2\\-10x=2\\\\\text{for the equation:}\ \text{division property of equality}\\\\-10x=2\qquad\text{divide both sides by -10}\\\dfrac{-10x}{-10}=\dfrac{2}{-10}\\x=-0.2

\text{Distributive property:}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\text{Associative property:}\ (a+b)+c=a+(b+c)

When a class took a math test, 15% of the class failed, 25% made some mistakes (but didn’t fail), and 24 students got perfect sc
mart [117]

Answer:

There are 40 students in the class.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Percentage of class that failed = 15%

Percentage of class that made mistakes but did not fail = 25%

Number of students that got perfect score = 24

Percentage of students that got perfect score =

100\%-\text{Percentage of class that failed}-\text{Percentage of class that made mistakes but did not fail}\\= 100\%-15\%-25\%\\= 60\%

Let x be the total number of students in the class.

Then, we can write:

60\% \text{ of } x = 24\\60\% \times x = 24\\\\\displaystyle\frac{60}{100}\times x = 24\\\\x = 24\times \frac{100}{60}\\\\x = 40

Thus, there are 40 students in the class.
