Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
LEt the number be x.
2x - 5 = 3
2x = 3 + 5 = 8
x = 8/2 = 4
To solve the equation: add 5 to both sides and then multiply by 1/2.
Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
-3 + 2x = 11
(group like terms)
2x = 11 + 3
2x = 14
(divide both sides by 2 to make x stand alone)
2x/2 = 14/2
x = 7
You multiply .65 times 100 and you get 65 which is 65% of 100
