Answer:
x = -19
Step-by-step explanation:
These questions can be daunting at first, but they're pretty simple to solve.
First, we need to establish a common denominator. We have 2 / 3, 1 / 4, and
-4 / 3. The least common denominator we can get is by multiplying 4 and 3 together to get 12. So we will change the denominator as follows;
2 / 3, 1 / 4, -4 / 3 = 8 / 12, 3 / 12, -16 / 12
Now we can put these back into the equation.
8/12x + 3/12 = -16/12
8x + 3 = -16
It's simple math from here on out, but I'll show the process. What we can basically do now is take away the denominator because it doesn't matter now that it's common.
Subtract 3 from both sides. Now we have 8x = -19
Dividing by 8 on both sides of the equation will get you your answer.
x = -19/8
Hope this helps!
Answer:
6 x 340 = 2,040
Step-by-step explanation:
People were in favor of the new hotel=25% of 6000 people.
25% of 6000 people=(25/100)*6000=(25*6000)/100=1500 pople.
1500 people were in favor of the new hotel.
Suppose in 1992 Chris was x years old, his brother was then 2x years old.
6 years later in 1998, Chris is (x+6) years old, his brother is (2x+6),
(x+6)=(2/3)(2x+6)
x+6=(4/3)x+4
(4/3)x-x=6-4
(1/3)x=3
x=6
in 1992, Chris was 6, so in 2018 he will be 6+(2018-1992)=32 years old.
