Im think the answer is: 60000000000
340 × .2 = 68
68 page decrease
340 - 68 = 272

9/2{8-x}+36=102-5/2{3x+24}
you first use 9/2 to open brackets
9/2*8=36,
9/2*x=9/2x
36-9/2x=102-5/2{3x+24}
5/2*3x=15/2x+60
36-9/2x=-15/2x-60
36+60=15/2x+9/2x
96=12x you then divide and the answer obtained will be 8.
x=8
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We first need to bring x up into the numerator. I will find common denominators by multiplying both sides by each denominator.

This will eliminate both denominators and leave me with
after I simplify the parenthesis.
Now I will solve the equation for x by subtracting 9x from both sides.

Then divide by the coefficient of x.


One and a half = 1.5
Three and a half = 3.5
1.5 + 3.5 = 5.
