-(-5 - 6x) = 4 (5x +3)

Pretend that there is a -1 in front of the first bracket

-1(-5-6x)= 4(5x+3)

Mutiply the first bracket by -1

(-1)(-5)(-1)(-6x)= 5+6x

Mutiply the second bracket by 4

(4)(5x)(4)(3)= 20x+12

5+6x= 20x+12

move 20x to the other side

5+6x-20x= 20x-20x+12

5+6x-20x= 12

5-14x= 12

move 5 to the other side

sign changes from +5 to -5.

5-5-14x= 12-5

-14x=7

divide by -14

-14x/-14= 7/-14

x= -1/2

Answer: x= -1/2

Molly's town voted on a new speed limit. Out of 38 votes, 19 were in favor of the new speed limit. What percentage of the votes

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Percentage of votes in favour of new speed limit=50%

Step-by-step explanation:

There was a voting in Molly's town to set a new limit for the speed attained by a vehicle.

In Molly's town,

Number of votes recorded=38

Number of votes in favour of the new speed limit=19

We have to find the percentage of votes in favour of the new speed limit.

For that,the percentage of votes in favour= $\frac{votes in favour of new speed limit×100}{total votes}$

Percentage of votes in favour= $\frac{19*100}{38}$

Percentage of votes in favour=50%

Eduardwww [97]

Pls see answer below.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, our slope is -8. This means that every hour, the storm is getting closer to the town by 8 miles per hour.

Our y-intercept is 200, which means that its' initial position is 200 miles away from the town.

Hope this helped.
