9 - 8x = 35
subtract 9 from both sides
-8x = 26
divide both sides by -8
x= -26/8
you can simplify this to -13/4
Answer:
20925
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply 675 by 11 to get 7425. Add 7425 to 13500 to get 20925. To check minus 20925 by 7425. I got 13500. So this answer is reasonable.
Let's start with the blue states. Out of 50 states, 28 of them were blue.
Therefore, the fraction would be 28/50. Let's reduce it.
28/50=14/25 --> these are the lowest terms for this fraction
Use a calculator to find the decimal solution --> 14/25= .56
Now, let's do the red states. Out of the 50 states, 22 of them were blue.
22/50=11/25 --> lowest terms
Use a calculator --> 11/25= .43
