Answer:
<em>Peter now has 54 baseball cards</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Percentages</u>
Assume Peter had x baseball cards in his collection. The 35% of his initial collection is
35 * x / 100= 0.35x
We know that those 14 new baseball cards represent a 35% of his previous collection, therefore we can set a simple equation
0.35x=14
When we solve for x, we'll know how many baseball cards Peter had before
x=14 / 0.35 = 40
Peter had 40 cards, he added 14 new baseball cards, so he now has 40+14=54
Peter now has 54 baseball cards

Answer:
x= 7
Step-by-step explanation:
1st step: Multiply the factor (outside number) with the numbers and variable(s) in the box. This results in 2(x-3) = 2x-6
2nd Step: continue the rest of the equation since there are no more brackets left so 2x-6-12=-4
3rd Step: send -12 to the other side of the equation (side changes sign changes) so it will become 2x-6=-4+12 (You are actually supposed to make the variable alone on one side of the equation so that you would be able to calculate its value)
4th step: 2x-6=8 ---> send -6 to the other side as well which will then result in 2x=14
5th step: since 2 is being multiplied by x, when you send it to the other side (to make x alone) you will divide 14 by 2 ( sign of 2 changes from multiplication to division)
Final Step: x=7
