1. Note that

$3\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{3\cdot 3+2}{3}=\dfrac{9+2}{3}=\dfrac{11}{3}.$

2. Then the equation $3\dfrac{2}{3}x=22$ can be rewritten

$\dfrac{11}{3}x=22.$

3. Solve it:

$x=22:\dfrac{11}{3},\\ \\x=22\cdot \dfrac{3}{11}=2\cdot 3=6.$

Answer: x=6

Customers at an ice cream shop took a survey. The results showed that 144 customers rated the shop as being "very satisfactory."

Answer:

320 customers is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have to divide 144 by 45% to find one percent of the customers (you get 3.2).

2. Once you get one percent of all of the customers (3.2) you multiply it by 100 to get 100 percent of the customers (or total number of customers).

So, 320 total customers

Have a great day, I hope you like the explination.

What two numbers multiply and get 100 and add and get -29??

butalik [34]

X, y - the numbers

The numbers multiply to 100.
$xy=100$

The numbers add up to -29.
$x+y=-29 \\
y=-x-29$

Substitute -x-29 for y in the first equation:
$x(-x-29)=100 \\
-x^2-29x=100 \\
-x^2-29x-100=0 \\
-x^2-4x-25x-100=0 \\
-x(x+4)-25(x+4)=0 \\
(-x-25)(x+4)=0 \\
-x-25=0 \ \lor \ x+4=0 \\
x=-25 \ \lor \ x=-4 \\ \\
y=-x-29 \\
y=-(-25)-29 \ \lor \ y=-(-4)-29 \\
y=25-29 \ \lor \ y=4-29 \\
y=-4 \ \lor \ y=-25 \\ \\
(x,y)=(-25,-4) \hbox{ or } (x,y)=(-4,-25)$

The numbers are -4 and -25.
