I got ten. Here's the equation.
x = 1/2x + 5
<span>Subtract 1/2x from both sides to get all x's on one side </span>
<span>x - 1/2x = 1/2x - 1/2x + 5 </span>
<span>1/2x = 5 </span>
<span>Now multiple the left by 2 to get x, but since it's an equation, you need to also multiply the right by 2 to keep it =. </span>
<span>2 * 1/2x = 2 * 5 </span>
<span>x = 10 cats</span>
Answer:
$9 in change
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the total cost of his purchases:
28 + 28 + 85
= 141
Find how much change he received by subtracting this from 150:
150 - 141
= 9
So, he should have received $9 in change
Hello!
to solve this equation, you have to find the percentage of defects out of the total amount of jeans. if there are 300 pairs of jeans with 8 faulty pairs, then the percentage of defects would be 2.666(etc). 2.666(etc) percent of 3000 is roughly 80 pairs of defective jeans.
therefore your final answer would be 80 pairs of jeans!
Answer:
A. x =2
Step-by-step explanation: Rearrange terms 3x - 8 = 6 ( 1 - 2x ) + 16 ---> 3x - 8 = 6 ( -2x + 1 ) +16
Distribute
Add the numbers
Add 8 to both sides of the equation
Simplify
Add 12x to both sides of the equation
Simplify
Divide both sides of the equation by the same term
Simplify -------> x=2
