For this problem, you can use the proportion 1696/x = 32/100 since 1696 is 32% (or 32/100) of an unknown number of students .
You can cross-multiply to get 32x = 169600
Then divide on both sides by 32 and get to 5300.
Answer: 5300 student applied last year.
Hope that helps!
2 − 3 = −5
First we need to Add 3 to both sides of the equation:
2 − 3 + 3 = −5 + 3
Then we simplify:
2 = −5 + 3
2 = −2
Now we divide both sides of the equation by the same term:
2 / 2 = −2 / 2
Final answer: = −1
I hope this helps!
Answer:
4x and 7x; -3 and 1: these are like terms
Step-by-step explanation:
when finding like terms, look for same variables.
Answer:
x = 7
Explanation:
8 + 4 = 2 (x − 1)
Simplify both sides of the equation
8 + 4 = 2(x − 1)
8 + 4 = (2)(x) + (2)(−1) (Distribute)
8 + 4 = 2x + −2
(8 + 4) = 2x − 2 (Combine Like Terms)
12 = 2x − 2
12 = 2x − 2
Flip the equation
2x − 2 = 12
Add 2 to both sides
2x − 2 + 2 = 12 + 2
2x = 14
Divide both sides by 2
2x / 2 = 14 / 2
x = 7
