Answer:

x=19

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we need to get x by itself

5x+38=8x-19

First, we need to move all the numbers to the same side, and all the variables to the other side

Let’s add 19 to both sides

5x+38+19=8x-19+19

5x+57=8x

Now, subtract 5x from both sides

5x-5x+57=8x-5x

57=3x

Now all the numbers are on one side, and the variables are on the other. x is still now by itself, it is being multiplied by 3. To undo this, divide both sides by 3.

57/3=3x/3

19=x

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 38 = 8x - 19

by transposing method,

5x - 8x = -19-38

-3x = -57

3x = 57

x = 57/3

x = 19

Anna is a teacher at an elementary school. She purchased 73 tickets to take the first-grade children and some parents on a field

Svetllana [295]

She bought 54 child tickets and 19 adult tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of tickets purchased = 73

Cost of tickets = $771

Cost of one child ticket = $9

Cost of one adult ticket = $15

Let,

Child ticket = x

Adult ticket = y

According to given statement;

x+y=73 Eqn 1

9x+15y=771 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 9;

$9(x+y=73)\\9x+9y=657\ \ \ Eqn\ 3\\$

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2;

$(9x+15y)-(9x+9y)=771-657\\9x+15y-9x-9y=114\\6y=114\\$

Dividing both sides by 6;

$\frac{6y}{6}=\frac{114}{6}\\y=19$

Putting y=19 in Eqn 1

$x+19=73\\x=73-19\\x=54\\$

She bought 54 child tickets and 19 adult tickets.

The results of joes survey show that baseball is the favorite sport for 18 out of 25 people. What percent do not like sports?

charle [14.2K]

well if 18 out of 25 like it, then the remaining 7 doesn't like it, namely 7 out of 25.

if we take 25 to be the 100%, what is 7 off of if in percentage?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 25&100\\ 7&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{25}{7}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 25x=700\implies x=\cfrac{700}{25}\implies x=28$

6-2(x+6)=3x+4 ...............................

juin [17]

Answer:

x=−2

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Expand.

6-2x-12=3x+4

6−2x−12=3x+4

2 Simplify 6-2x-126−2x−12 to -2x-6−2x−6.

-2x-6=3x+4

−2x−6=3x+4

3 Add 2x2x to both sides.

-6=3x+4+2x

−6=3x+4+2x

4 Simplify 3x+4+2x3x+4+2x to 5x+45x+4.

-6=5x+4

−6=5x+4

5 Subtract 44 from both sides.

-6-4=5x

−6−4=5x

6 Simplify -6-4−6−4 to -10−10.

-10=5x

−10=5x

7 Divide both sides by 55.

-\frac{10}{5}=x

−

8 Simplify \frac{10}{5}

to 22.

-2=x

−2=x

9 Switch sides.

x=-2

x=−2
