<span><span>Okay, so let's start by setting up this problem:
</span>(original number=x)(percentage=.06)=(percentage of original number)</span>
So it should look like this:
<span>(x)(.06)=51 Now we should divide .06 from each side
</span><span>x=850 And there we go! 850 is the answer.
i hope this help

Problem: You do not have an attached picture. Though, I can help you out with this question.
So, three-fifths of the members are girls. There are 30 of girls. We can immediately make an equation using "x".
3/5x=30
3/5x × 5/3=30 × 5/3
x=50
Thus, there are 50 members in total. Though if x is too hard for you, you may substitute it by using another variable.
Variable in here is x.
It's already in simplest form
The first answer of part A is 32
So 4y means you have to multiply 4 by y, which is 20 since 4x5=20
And then you add 12, which is 32.
The second answer to part A is 40
With the second question of part a, the expression is basically saying 4 times whatever 5+3 is. So 5+3= 8, and 4(8) is 40
For part B, they are equivalent because let’s pretend y=2. 12+4y= 20. And then 4(y+3) would equal 20 because 4(2)=8 and 4(3)=12 and 8+12=20. This might not be the answer that your teacher is looking for, but it’s still a right answer so technically they can’t say it’s wrong unless you have a super unfair teacher
