Obviously this will be a negative number
-2 - 14 = 5x - 3x
-16 = 2x
x = %28-16%29%2F2
x = -8 is the number

Check solution in the original statement: x=-8
3(-8) - 2 = 5(-8) + 14
-24 - 2 = -40 + 14
-26 = -26
The complementary event is that a customer does not enter the store within one minute of closing, and the probability is 75%.
The complement is found by subtracting from 100%; 100-25 = 75%.
If you want to easily find the solution you can use your calculator.
Just divide 77 by 110 and see the result.
77/110 = 0.7 = 7/10 = 70/100 = 70%
100% - 70% = 30%
Explanation
110*x=77
x=77/110, but the answer is not a percent
So 77/110 = ?/100 => ?=77*100/110=70 => 70%
But since 70% does not represent a percentage decreasement, we need to subtract it from the 100%
100% - 70% = 30%
4t+ 14= 6t/5+ 7
⇒ 4t+ 14= 6/5t+ 7
⇒ 4t -6/5t= 7 -14
⇒ (4 -6/5)t= -7 (distributive property)
⇒ 14/5t= -7
⇒ t= -7/ (14/5)
⇒ t= -5/2
⇒ t= -2.5
Final answer: t= -2.5~
I got you, the answer would be x=5
