Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we just have to the multiplication and do the simplification (adding up the similar terms) afterwards:

3(x+1)=7(x-2)-3 becomes...

3x + 3 = 7x - 14 - 3

3x + 3 = 7x -17

Then we move all x's on one side and all plain numbers on the other side, we'll move the x's to the right since there's a bigger value there, and will move the plain numbers on the left side, by subtracting 3x and by adding 17 on both sides

3x + 3 - 3x + 17 = 7x -17 + 17 - 3x

20 = 4x

If we isolate x alone we have:

20/4 = x or x = 5

Answer:

<h2>x = 5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+1)=7(x-2)-3\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(3)(x)+(3)(1)=(7)(x)+(7)(-2)-3\\\\3x+3=7x-14-3\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\3x+3=7x+(-14-3)\\\\3x+3=7x-17\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\3x+3-3=7x-17-3\\\\3x=7x-20\qquad\text{subtract 7x from both sides}\\\\3x-7x=7x-7x-20\\\\-4x=-20\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-4)}\\\\\dfrac{-4x}{-4}=\dfrac{-20}{-4}\\\\x=5

azamat

Answer:

6.9%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a university class has 26 students: 12 are art majors, 9 are history majors, 5 and are nursing majors, and the professor is planning to select two of the students for a demonstration, where the first student will be selected at random, and then the second student will be selected at random from the remaining students, to determine what is the probability that the first student selected is a history major and the second student is a nursing major the following calculations must be performed:

26 = 100

9 = X

9 x 100/26 = X

900/26 = X

34.61 = X

25 = 100

5 = X

500/25 = X

20 = X

0.2 x 0.3461 = X

0.069 = X

Thus, the probability that the first student selected is a history major and the second student is a nursing major is 6.9%.
