A equation to represent this situation is:

Now we have to find x.
Step 1: Subtract 0.5x from both sides.
<span><span><span><span>0.75x</span>+7.5</span>−<span>0.5x</span></span>=<span><span><span>0.5x</span>+10</span>−<span>0.5x</span></span></span><span><span><span>0.25x</span>+7.5</span>=10
</span>Step 2: Subtract 7.5 from both sides.
0.25x+7.5−7.5=10−7.50.25x=2.5
Step 3: Divide both sides by 0.25.
<span><span><span>0.25x/</span>0.25</span>=<span>2.5/<span>0.25
</span></span></span>Answer:
<span>x=<span>10</span></span>

Answer:
x > 90, C
Step-by-step explanation:
20 + 2 < x / 3 - 8
x / 3 - 8 > 22
x / 3 > 30
x > 90
40+90=130
180-130=50
50+130=180
x=130
50+x=180
66 x 3 = 198
198 + 2 = 200
200 / 3
As an improper fraction, anyway. 66 2/3 is already *technically* a fraction.
