3x + 5 = 23
5 more than(addition) 3 times(multiplication) a variable(x) is(equals) 23
(you add 5 to 3x)
If you need to solve for "x", you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:
3x + 5 = 23 Subtract 5 on both sides
3x + 5 - 5 = 23 - 5
3x = 18 Divide 3 on both sides to get "x" by itself

x = 6
Answer:
3000 students
Step-by-step explanation:
If 48% of the students are female, and there are 1440 female students, we can set up a percentage proportion, assuming x is the total amount of students.

We can use the cross products property to find the value of x.

Hope this helped!
