You can simply collect terms, subtract the constant and divide by the x-coefficient. It is generally considered easier to do those steps if you eliminate fractions first (multiply by 12).
Multiply by 12
... 4(x -1) +3(x +5) = 6
... 4x -4 +3x +15 = 6 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
... 7x +11 = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . .collect terms
... 7x = -5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract the constant 11
... x = -5/7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the x-coefficient

Here it is the other way.
... x(1/3 +1/4) +(-1/3 +5/4) = 1/2
... (7/12)x + 11/12 = 1/2 . . add the fractions to finish collecting terms
... x + 11/7 = 6/7 . . . . . . . multiply by 12/7
... x = -5/7 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 11/7
At the third step here, you could subtract 11/12 before doing the multiply. You get the same answer, but you have to do the extra conversion of 1/2=6/12.
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
If the shapes are similar we can use the side length proportion to find the value of x:
7/91 = x/52 cross multiply expressions
91x = 364 divide both sides by 91
x = 4
The combination formula is given by
C(n, r) =
C(11, 8) =
C(11, 8) = 165
So, there are 165 ways of choosing 8 flowers out of 11 flowers
To convert a decimal to a percentage, you move the decimal place two spaces to the right.
2.5 would become 250%.
I hope this helps!
