\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{x}{5}=\dfrac{16}{21}

\\ \sf\longmapsto 21x=16(5)

\\ \sf\longmapsto 21x=80

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{80}{21}

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=3.6

David works six more hours per week than Xavier. If Xavier works 32 hours a week, what is the total hours the two work in a
Finger [1]

We are required to find the total hours David and Xavier works in a week

The total hours David and Xavier works in a week is 70 hours

let

number of hours Xavier works = 32 hours

number of hours David works = (6 + 32) hours

= 38 hours

<em>Total number of hours David and Xavier works in a week = number of hours Xavier works + number of hours David works</em>

= 32 hours + 38 hours

= 70 hours

Therefore, the total hours David and Xavier works in a week is 70 hours

Solve for x.<br> -2.3(x - 1.2) = -9.66
Elena-2011 [213]
<span>Reorder the terms: -2.3(-1.2 + x) = -9.66 (-1.2 * -2.3 + x * -2.3) = -9.66 (2.76 + -2.3x) = -9.66 Solving 2.76 + -2.3x = -9.66 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2.76' to each side of the equation. 2.76 + -2.76 + -2.3x = -9.66 + -2.76 Combine like terms: 2.76 + -2.76 = 0.00 0.00 + -2.3x = -9.66 + -2.76 -2.3x = -9.66 + -2.76 Combine like terms: -9.66 + -2.76 = -12.42 -2.3x = -12.42 Divide each side by '-2.3'. x = 5.4 Simplifying x = 5.4</span>
