So, let's look at the problem once again.

8%, or 8/100 of the bag were green jelly beans.

Let's see what we can do to find out a number of other jelly beans, not including the green ones.

We know that 92% of jelly-beans are not green.

92% is 11.5 times more than 8%
(92/8)

24 (or 8%) times 11.5 = 276

276 - number of jelly beans that are not green.

276 plus 24 = 300.

Answer: 300 jelly beans were in one bag.

Answer:

a = −bx+7x−4 over x


Step-by-step explanation:

solve for a:

7+ax−5x=3+2x−bx

add 5x to both sides:

ax−5x+7+5x=−bx+2x+3+5x

ax+7=−bx+7x+3

add -7 to both sides:

ax+7+−7=−bx+7x+3+−7

−bx+7x−4

lastly divide both sides by x.
