Real world problem for 11x = 385
Sam brought home 385 packs of string for the party. At the party, Sam invites 11 people, and wants to give each person the same amount of string. How much string does each person get?
You could put 70/100 and cross multiple with x/5,000 first multiple 5,000 by 70 then divide by 100 meaning x=3,500
To get the answer subtract how many he has from how many he want.
Answer: x=10
Step-by-step explanation: Hope this help :D
Need to distribute -3
-3(x+4)=2x-5
-3x+12=2x-5
-5x=7
x=-7/5 or x=-1 2/5 or x=-1.4
