Answer:
<em>x = -10</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
(9/2)(8 - x) + 36 = 102 - (5/2)(3x + 24)
Multiply both sides by 2.
9(8 - x) + 2 * 36 = 2 * 102 - 5(3x + 24)
Distribute on both sides.
72 - 9x + 72 = 204 - 15x - 120
Combine like terms on each side.
144 - 9x = 84 - 15x
Subtract 144 from both sides. Add 15x to both sides.
6x = -60
Divide both sides by 6.
x = -10
6 percent intrest per year for 5 years I think is the same as 30 percent for 5 years
so $15,000 x .3 is $4500
$15,000 + $4500 = $19,500
not 100 percent sure if this is correct but I think its right. Sorry if im wrong.
2000x(100%-29%)=1420
1420 of them did not have pets
Square both sides
9(x + 2) = x + 4
Expand
9x + 18 = x + 4
Subtract x from both sides
9x + 18 - x = 4
Simplify 9x + 18 - x to 8x + 18
8x + 18 = 4
Subtract 18 from both sides
8x = 4 - 18
Simplify 4 - 18 to -14
8x = -14
Divide both sides by 8
x = -14/8
Simplify 14/8 to 7/4
<u>C. x = -7/4</u>
