Answer
500
Step-by-step explanation:
If the biologist tags 25 birds and lets them go, and then catches 100 and 5 of them have the tags, that would mean 20 of them are still out in the wild.
The way to solve this is if you put it into a proportion.
5/100 = 25/x
5x = (100)(25)
5x = 2500
5x/5 = 2500/5
x = 500
5/100=25/500
Well, first off, to solve for this, we can write the expression and then solve from there.
Expression: 8x + 3 = 29
So, now that we have our expression, we can solve for our missing number using the balancing method.
8x + 3 = 29
8x + 3 - 3 = 29 - 3 (we subtracted the three because we needed to get rid of the three on the left side of the equation do now we are just left with 8x = 26.
8x = 26
8x/8 = 26/8. (So, the 8 on the left side cancels out and we are just left with X.
X = 26/8
X = 13/4
X = 3 and 1/4
So, in conclusion, the answer to this question is: X = 3 and 1/4 as a mixed number or 13/4 as an improper fraction.
