Add 5/7 on both sides.
It'll cancel out the negative 5/7, and it will make the x variable only equal to one number (Well, a mixed number.)
A.) Mark is correct as every increase in x of 2 equals a y increase of 4

Answer:
C. 4,100
Step-by-step explanation:
"60% more" is represented by a multiplier of 1 + 0.60 = 1.60.
"60% fewer" is represented by a multiplier of 1 - 0.60 = 0.40.
__
Let b represent the number of booklets distributed by Team B. Then the number distributed by Team A is ...
1.60 × (0.40b) . . . . 60% more boxes, each with 60% fewer booklets
= 0.64b
Then the total distributed by both teams is ...
b + 0.64b = 1.64b = (164/100)b = (41/25)b
The only answer choice that is a multiple of 41 is ...
4,100 . . . choice C
__
For 4100 to be the number of booklets distributed by both teams, Team B will have distributed 2500 booklets, and Team A will have distributed 1600 booklets. Team A might have distributed 160 boxes of 100 booklets, while Team B might have distributed 100 boxes of 250 booklets.
