Answer:
a = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
-0.4a + 3 = 7
subtract 3 from each side
-0.4a + 3-3 = 7-3
-.4a = 4
Divide each side by -.4
-.4a/ -.4 = 4/-.4
a = - 10
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- 6x = 5x + 222
- 222 = 5x + 6x
11x = - 222
x = - 222 : 11
x = - 222/11
Answer: 60
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that 430 students were surveyed and 258 said that their favorite type of pet was a dog. The fraction/decimal of those that chose dog as their favorite pet will be:
= 258/430
= 3/5
= 0.6
Suppose that only 100 students were surveyed, the number of students that would say that a dog is their favorite types of pet will be:
= 0.6 × 100
= 60
When you multiply fractions you want to make them a mixed number then multiply the two top numbers together and then the bottom two together. Basically 6 2/3 would become 20/3 x 5/6... then multiply 5 and 20 together and 3 and 6 together to get 100/18... simplify from there.
