Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

distibute: 1/2x - 5 = 7

add 5 to both sides: 1/2x = 12

multiply by 2 on both sides: x = 24

To check your work:

1/2[(24) - 10] = 7

simplify inside the parenthesis: 1/2[14] = 7

multiply: 7 = 7

the statement is true so your answer is corect

It was recently estimated that females outnumber males by about three or two. If there are 1770 people in a county, how many of

max2010maxim [7]

GIVEN

1) Females outnumber males by 3 to 2.

2) There are 1770 people in the city.

SOLUTION

Let the number of males be x and the number of females y. Therefore, the total number of people can be written to be:

$x+y=1770\text{ -----------(1)}$

If there are 3 females for every 2 males, we have that:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{y}{3}=\frac{x}{2} \\ \therefore \\ x=\frac{2y}{3}\text{ ----------(2)} \end{gathered}$

We can substitute equation (2) into equation (1) and solve for y:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}y+y=1770 \\ \frac{2y+3y}{3}=1770 \\ 5y=1770\times3 \\ 5y=5310 \end{gathered}$

Dividing both sides by 5, we have

$y=1062$

There are 1062 females in the county.

What is 2x=8a+2b; solving for x

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Flip the equation 1) 8a + 2b = 2x

Subtract 2b from both sides 2)8a + 2b(-2b) =<em> 2x + (-2b)</em>

Divide by 8 on both sides 3) 8a/8 =<em> -2b - 2x/8</em>

4) a = 1/-4b + 1/4x
