Answer:

x = -3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we create the equation.

Let x = the unknown number

7x-1 = 5x - 8

Add 8 to both sides

7x + 7 = 5x

Subtract 7x

7 = -2x

Divide by 2

-7/2 = x

-3.5 = x

7x - 1 = 5x - 8
Minus 5x on each side
2x -1 = -8
Plus 1 on each side
2x = -7
Divide by 2 on each side
x = -7/2

The number is most likely -7/2

Which question is best modeled with a division expression?
Orlov [11]

The question that can be best modeled as a division expression is how many 3/8's are in 48.

<h3>What is division? </h3>

Division is the process of dividing a number into equal parts using another number. The sign used to denote division is ÷. Division is one of the basic mathematical operations. The other mathematical operations are addition, multiplication and division.

In order to determine the 3/8's in 48, divide 48 by 3/8.

In order to determine 3/8 of 48, multiply 48 by 3/8.

In order to determine the total of 3/8 and 48, add the numbers together.

In order to determine how much more than 3/8 is 48, subtract 3/8 from 48.

In-s [12.5K]
14,500/258 is 56.2015504 blah blah blah. You can't have a fifth of a uniform. I would interpret it as they have a little money left over, but they can't buy another uniform.

So your answer is 56 uniforms.
