Answer :
x = 53.85
Step by step explanation:
If 78% of x (some numbers) is equal to 42, then we must set this as an equation to find it.
1) Rewriting 78% as a fraction and considering that when we say 78% of some number (x) we mean a product.
78% = 78/100 ➡️ 78/100x = 42
2) Then we can go on :
100 * 78/100x = 42 * 100
78x = 4200
78x/78 = 4200/78 ➡️ x = 53.85
3) Alternatively, simply dividing 42 by 0.78 (78%) would come to the same result :
42/0.78 = 53.85

Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number. The problem statement tells you ...
2/3(3x +6) = 10
2x +4 = 10 . . . . . . use the distributive property
x +2 = 5 . . . . . . . . divide by 2
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 3
The number is 3.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
The above shows an "alternative" solution method. The more usual way this might be done is ...
2(3x +6) = 30 . . . . . multiply by 3 to clear fractions
6x +12 = 30 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
6x = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
Answer:x=12 and 68$
Step-by-step explanation:
For any point to be in the first quadrant, it must have a positive "x" value and "y" value.
If x = 1 then y = 2, a point with both x and y positive values which would be in the First Quadrant.
