Answer:

3 + 4 = 7  which is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever you have an equation with a plain variable (that is, no exponent included), there is only one number that will work when substituted for x.

To solve it, you have to "undo" what is done to the variable. You also go in the reverse order of operations, so you do the addition/subtract first, then multiplication/division.

You also have to do the same to both sides, kind of like keeping a balance scale in balance.

In this case, we subtract 4 from both sides first:

3x + 4 -4 = 7 - 4

The + 4 - 4 cancel each other out, so you get:

3x = 3

3x means "3 times x" so you divide by 3 to undo it. I will use the / to indicate division:

3x / 3 = 3 /3  

so 1x = 1.

Since 1x is "1 times x" it is the same as x by itself, so:

x=1

AND, if we substitute 1 back into the original equation (the asterisk stands for multiply):

3 * 1 + 4 = 7

3 * 1 is 3, so:

3 + 4 = 7     which is true.

1 is the only number that works.

Hope this helped.

aksik [14]

Answer:

Rounded to the nearest integer, the company has a total of 82,958 employees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an international company has 25,800 employees in one country, if this represents 31.1% of the companies employees, to determine how many employees does it have in total, the following calculation must be performed:

31.1 = 25,800

100 = X

100 x 25,800 / 31.1 = X

2,580,000 / 31.1 = X

82,958.1 = X

Thus, rounded to the nearest integer, the company has a total of 82,958 employees.
