Answer:

a) x = -1.5

b) x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

For problem a, you can start by subtracting 3x from both sides to gather all the like terms together:

7x + 5 = 3x - 1

-3x         -3x

4x + 5 = -1

Next, to get the coefficients on one side, you subtract 5 from both sides:

4x + 5 =  -1

    -5      -5

4x = -6

Now, you divide by 4 on both sides to isolate x:

x = -6/4 = -1.5 --- > x = -1.5

For problem b, you start by subtracting 3x from both sides(kinda like problem a):

5x + 12 = 3x + 14

-3x          -3x

2x + 12 = 14

Next, you can subtract 12 from both sides, isolating the "x term".

2x + 12 = 14

       -12  -12

2x = 2

Lastly, you can divide by 2 to get x:

x = 1

1:

7x +5=3x-1\\7x+5-3x=-1\\7x-3x=-1-5\\4x= -1-5\\4x= -6\\x=-\frac{6}{4} (en donde ambos se divide entre 4)\\Respuesta / x=-\frac{3}{2}

2:

5x+12=3x + 14\\5x+12-3x=16\\5x-3x=16-12\\2x= 16-12\\2x= 4\\x=4/2\\( se divide entre 2)x= 2

Part A


Let x represent the number of coworkers who prefer the talk news radio.


65% prefer the talk news radio,



100-65=35% will be the percentage that corresponds to coworkers who do not prefer the talk news radio.


Part B


We apply ratio to find x.




65:x



35:28


Hence number that corresponds to 65% will be greater than 28.


If more, less will divide.


This implies that,



x=\frac{65\times 28}{35}=52


Hence 52 of her coworkers prefer the local news talk station.
