Answer:

12 girls.

Step-by-step explanation:

24 ÷ 2 = 12

(This is divided to find out 1 part of the whole class as ⅓)

⅓ = 12

1 (whole) take away ⅔ = ⅓

Since ⅔ + ⅓ = 1

⅓ = fraction of girls in class

1 part = 12

So ⅓ = 12 girls out of 36 total students

Hope this helps. :)

2/3 (3x+9)=-2 (2x+6)

rosijanka [135]

Answer: x=−3

Step-by-step explanation: Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

(3x+9)=−2(2x+6)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

(3x+9)=−2(2x+6)

(

)(3x)+(

)(9)=(−2)(2x)+(−2)(6)(Distribute)

2x+6=−4x+−12

2x+6=−4x−12

Step 2: Add 4x to both sides.

2x+6+4x=−4x−12+4x

6x+6=−12

Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides.

6x+6−6=−12−6

6x=−18

Step 4: Divide both sides by 6.

−18

x=−3
