Answer:

$x=\frac{5}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x - 2 = 3 - 4x$

Add $2$ and $4x$ on both sides of the equation.

$3x - 2 +2+4x= 3 - 4x+2+4x$

$3x+4x=-4x+5+4x$

$7x=5$

Divide $7$ on both sides of the equation.

$\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{5}{7}$

$x=\frac{5}{7}$

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

Given, Some boys and girls took part in a competition. 2/5 of the competitors were boys So 3/5 of the competitors were girls.

topjm [15]

Answer:

company 1 final price: $148.5

company 2 final price: $168

company 3 final price: $132

thus, the best choice is company 3 because it costs the least and all services are the same

Step-by-step explanation:

company 1 is offering 25% off the price of their service

company 2 is offering $30 off the price of their service

company 3 is offering a 1/3 discount off the price of their service

the price of the cleaning is $198

company 1: 25% discount = 75% of the original price $198, which would be $198 * 3/4, or $148.5

company 2: $30 dollars off, which means $198 - $30 or $168

company 3: 1/3rd discount, meaning the product after the discount is only 2/3rd of the original price. 2/3rd of $198 is $132, so the final price after the discount is $132
