Answer:
(x − 2) = 3
Remove the bracket
x - 2 = 3
Group the constants at one side of the equation
x = 2 + 3
x = 5
Therefore x = 5.00 to 3 significant figures.
Hope this helps
Answer:
85 parking spaces
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Parking spaces on floors :
Let first floor = x
Second floor = 2x
Third floor = 2x + 3
Total parking spaces = 428
THEREFORE ;
x + 2x + 2x + 3 = 428
5x + 3 = 428
5x = 428 - 3
5x = 425
x = 425 / 5
x = 85
Hence, there are 85 parking spaces on the first floor
