2-2x=5
When something says twice a number it’s always going to be multiplied by 2 and “a number will always be a variable
To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.
<span>1. We assume, that the number 42.5 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task. </span>
<span>2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for. </span>
<span>3. If 42.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 42.5=100%. </span>
<span>4. We know, that x is 76.8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=76.8%. </span>
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 42.5=100%
2) x=76.8%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
42.5/x=100%/76.8%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for what is 76.8% of 42.5
42.5/x=100/76.8
<span>(42.5/x)*x=(100/76.8)*x - </span>we multiply both sides of the equation by x
<span>42.5=1.30208333333*x - </span>we divide both sides of the equation by (1.30208333333) to get x
<span>42.5/1.30208333333=x </span>
<span>32.64=x </span>
x=32.64
<span>now we have: </span>
<span>76.8% of 42.5=32.64</span>
I assume you mean where do you purchase puppies? If that is the case, you can get them from pet stores or adopt them from shelters. You can also get them illegally from puppy-mills, but they are usually sick.
X=14 Y=12 I hope this helpex.
