Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
just simplify the LHS first.
You can either multiply 1/5 by (x+3) and then solve
or
multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of 1/5 on LHS
I will multiply by 5
(x+3)= -10x-15 ( 5*1/5(x+3)= -5(2x+3)
now rearrange the equation
x+3=-10x-15
-10x-15-x-3=0
-11x-17=0
-11x=17
x= -17/11

Answer:
2250
Step-by-step explanation:
From my understanding you have 450 packs to make and you need to put 5 tissue boxes in each one so we would just simply multiply 450 packages by 5 tissue boxes each package and get 2250
Answer:
x = - 4, x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x - 25)(x + 4) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4
5x - 25 = 0 ⇒ 5x = 25 ⇒ x = 5
Answer:
0.7x/0.8y = x/y * 0.7/0.8 = x/y * 0.875
So the fraction is reduced by 12.5%
