Answer:

x = -7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

3( x - 6 ) - 8x = -2 + 5(2x + 1)

3x - 18 - 8x = -2 + 10x + 5

-5x - 18 = 3 + 10x

-5x - 10x = 3 + 18

-15x = 21

x = $-\frac{7}{5}$

velikii [3]

<span>First, we need to know that the current recommended daily allowance of Vitamin E is 15 milligrams. If Leena ate four tablespoons of peanut butter, thus receiving only 6 milligrams, then we can determine the percentage by first dividing 100 into 15 parts (which gives us 6.66), and then multiply that answer by 6 (6 x 6.66), which gives us precisely 40. Thus, the answer is 40 percent.</span>
