8090kg-4854kg=decrease in kg ----- find the difference
3236=decrease in kg
3236kg/8090kg=percent decrease ----- decrease/original amount
0.4= percent decrease ------ percent decrease in decimal form
0.4*100=percent decrease ------ multiply by 100 to get percent form
40% decrease
To solve this problem, we need to get the variable x alone on one side of the equation. To begin, we are going to use the distributive property twice on the left side of the equation to expand the multiplication and get rid of the parentheses.
4(x-1) - 2(3x + 5) = -3x -1
4x - 4 -6x - 10 = -3x - 1
Next, we should combine like terms on the left side of the equation. This means we should add/subtract the variable terms and the constant terms in order to simplify this equation further.
-2x - 14 = -3x - 1
Then, we have to add 3x to both sides of the equation to get the variable terms all on the left side of the equation.
x - 14 = -1
After that, we should add 14 to both sides of the equation to get the variable x alone one the left side of the equation.
x = 13
Therefore, the answer is 13.
Hope this helps!
This diagram shows how 2/7 = 8/28 by showing that you can color in more squares or duplicate that amount of squares 4 times in order to get 8/28. (Since 2/7 x 4/4 = 8/28.)
The answer would be 7/4 because you would just divide both the 21 and 12 by 3
