Answer:
b. 28x + 8y +2
Step-by-step explanation:
you need to distribute the -2 to all the numbers inside parentheses and then combine like terms.
-2*3x= -6x
-2*12y= -24y
-2*-5= 10 (remember neg times neg = pos)
-2*17= 34x
-2*-16y=32y
-2*4= -8
Now combine like terms
34x-6x= 28x
32y-24y=8y
10-8=2
Write the expression: 28x + 8y +2
P+5= -2
p= -7 ( I subtracted 5 to both sides of the equation)
Hello there! We can solve this question by writing and solving a proportion. Set it up like this:
9/x = 3/100.
This is because 9 is 3% of x number of stores and percents are parts of 100. Setting it up like this will help us get the correct answer. Cross multiply the values . 9 * 100 is 900 and 3 * x = 3x. You get 900 = 3x. Now, divide each side by 3 to isolate the x. 3x/3 cancels out the x. 900/3 is 300. There. x = 300. 9 stores is 3% of 300 stores.
