If you had an equation such as 50%x=20, I would convert the percent to a decimal first. So, 0.50x=20. Then I would change the decimal into a simplified fraction. In this case it is 1/2. So, 1/2x=20. Then I would reciprocate the fraction and multiply that by 20. So x=20*2/1. From this, we would get x=40/1, but the 1 is not necessary, so we can write the final answer as x=40.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
"The difference between A and B" means "A - B". "Is no more than" means "is less than or equal to." Applying these translations to your statement gives ...
x - 3 ≤ 2
Adding 3 to both sides of this inequality tells you its solution:
x ≤ 5
