Answer:
x= -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
5x + -4 = 7x + 4
Solving
-4 + 5x = 4 + 7x
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-7x' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 5x + -7x = 4 + 7x + -7x
Combine like terms: 5x + -7x = -2x
-4 + -2x = 4 + 7x + -7x
Combine like terms: 7x + -7x = 0
-4 + -2x = 4 + 0
-4 + -2x = 4
Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 4 + -2x = 4 + 4
Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + -2x = 4 + 4
-2x = 4 + 4
Combine like terms: 4 + 4 = 8
-2x = 8
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = -4
Simplifying
x = -4
12/60 students chose science fiction
Approximately x/150 students prefer sf
60x = 1800
x = 30
30/150 students are assumed to prefer sf
30/150 = x/100
150x = 3000
x = 20
20/100 students are likely to prefer sf
Mr. Rodriguez made a reasonable estimate for the approximate percentage of students that prefer science fiction, because if 12/60 is equivalent to 30/150 which refers to the number of students who can be assumed to prefer science Fiction out of the whole school. Considering we need to identify what 30/150 as a percentage is, we can reduce it down to 1/5 to make I easier, then divide 1 by 5 to get .2
.2 as a percentage is 20%, so his inference was indeed reasonable.
