6.4 - 2x - 6.63x = 610.5
subtract 6.4 from both sides
-2x -6.63x =604.1
collect like terms
-8.63x = 604.1
divide both sides by -8.63
x= -70
So, let's look at the problem once again.
8%, or 8/100 of the bag were green jelly beans.
Let's see what we can do to find out a number of other jelly beans, not including the green ones.
We know that 92% of jelly-beans are not green.
92% is 11.5 times more than 8%
(92/8)
24 (or 8%) times 11.5 = 276
276 - number of jelly beans that are not green.
276 plus 24 = 300.
Answer: 300 jelly beans were in one bag.

Step-by-step explanation:
Hello! I would love to help!
Okay, we know that Raphel has to pay 3,000 dollars in a certain amount of months. Let's let "m" represent the amount of months it will take him.
Now, if we know that he saves 340 dollars a month, we can multiply the unknown amount of months, "m" by 340 to find how many will get 3000.
Here's our equation:
340m = 3000
Alright let's solve for m.
Divide both sides by 340.
340m/340= m
3000/340=8.824
So know we know m= 8.824, or exactly 8.824 months to save 3000 dollars.
However, it is really hard to count 8.824 parts of a month. Let's round it to the nearest whole, nine.
So, that means your answer is 9 months!
Hope this helped! Comment if you have questions!
