Answer:
x = 3 (see below)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for x, you need to isolate the variable to one side of the equation. To do that, you need to use reverse operations. For example, the reverse operation of subtraction is addition.
In this case, we have:
15 = 5x
5x is the same thing as 5 (x) or 5 times x. This means the reverse operation is division. So, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 5:
15 = 5x
----- ----
5 5
--------------
3 = x
x = 3
The number who drink coffee is 3/4 of 8000, so ...
... (3/4)×8000 = 6000.
Of those, 1/5 add cream, so the number of coffee drinkers who add cream to their coffee is ...
... (1/5)×6000 = 1200.
_____
Alternate solutions
We have computed ...
... (1/5)×((3/4)×8000) = 1200
Since multiplication is associative, you can multiply the fractions first, if you wish:
... ((1/5)×(3/4))×8000 = (3/20)×8000
... = 24000/20 = 1200
or
... = 3×(8000/20) = 3×400 = 1200

Answer:
Option 3: 300 phones
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Phone produces each day: 1000
Number of phones that were checked = 30
Defective phones = 9
So the probability of defective phones will be calculated by dividing the number of defective phones by total number of phones checked.
So, the probability of defective phones
= 9/30
= 0.3 or 30%
So, from 1000 phones the defective phones will be:
1000*0.3
= 300 Phones ..
To find this, turn the word question into an equation.
"One less than" means - 1, which is 1 being subtracted from something.
"half a number" means 1/2x, since 1/2 is half and x is unknown.
"is 12" means = 12, which is something equals 12.
Putting this in order would be 1/2x, then - 1, then = 12.
As an equation, this is 1/2x - 1 = 12.
So the equation is 1/2x - 1 = 12
Now you must find the number by solving this equation.
1/2x - 1 = 12
First, add 1 to both sides.
12 + 1 = 13
1/2x = 13
Now multiply both sides by 2.
This way, x will be isolated since 1/2x • 2 = 1x, and 1x = x.
13 • 2 = 26
x = 26
The number is 26.
