Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - (8x -17) = -10

Rewrite the equation and take away the brackets:

5x - 8x + 17 = -10

5x - 8x = -10 - 17

5x - 8x = -27

-3x = -27

x = -27 ÷ -3

x = 9

I hope this helps!

Answer:

The third X is 6. The fourth Y is 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The Rule : X is twice as large as Y. Y is half the size of X.

You can get this piece of information by looking at the different values.

For example, y=1 is x=2. This follows the rule. x=4 is y=2.

We have confirmed the rule is true, now we just need to carry the information into the other blocks!

Best of luck on the quiz! Please give brainliest if I helped you out!

If 30% of John's photographs were perfect, but 210 photographs were not perfect, then how many photographs were there in all?
anyanavicka [17]
If 30% were perfect, 70% were not perfect.  So we know that 70% of the total number of photographs is 210.

p(70/100)=210  multiply both sides by 100

70p=21000  divide both sides by 70

p=300

So there are 300 photographs in all.
