4(x - 2) + 6 = 2(5x - 6) <em>use distributive property</em>
(4)(x) + (4)(-2) + 6 = (2)(5x) + (2)(-6)
4x - 8 + 6 = 10x - 12
4x - 2 = 10x - 12 <em>add 2 to both sides</em>
4x = 10x - 10 <em>subtract 10 from both sides</em>
-6x = -10 <em>divide both sides by (-6)</em>
x = 10/6
<h3>x = 5/3</h3>
5/6 is closest to 1 because it it 1/6 away from 1 and is 5/6 away from 0 and is 2/6 away from 1/2 (referring 1/2 as 3/6) Hope this helps!
Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of professors to lecturers is ...
P : L = 6 : 11
Then the ratio of professors to total faculty is ...
P : (P+L) = 6 : (6+11) = 6 : 17
That is, professors make up 6/17 of the total faculty. Their number is ...
P = (6/17)·136 = 48
The Community College employs 48 professors.
