X/3 -2 = 6

Add 2 to both sides:

X/3 = 8

Multiply both sides by 3:

X = 24

X/5 +1 = 5

Subtract 1 from both sides:

X/5 = 4

Multiply both sides by 5:

X = 20

mezya [45]

Answer:

Option A) 19 to 25

Step-by-step explanation:

In the last election, 72% of the voters were in favor of a new outlet mall and

28% were against it.

So, There are 25 numbers to represent all the voters

The range of number that could be used to represent the voters who were against the new outlet mall = 28% of 25 numbers = 0.28 * 25 = 7

So, 7 numbers only could be used to represent the voters who were against the new outlet mall.

Check the options to find which range has only 7 numbers.

A) 19 to 25 ⇒ 7 numbers

B) 7 to 18 ⇒ 12 numbers

C) 15 to 25 ⇒ 11 numbers

D) 1 to 18 ⇒ 18 numbers

The answer is option A) 19 to 25
