Answer:
x<10
Step-by-step explanation:
Add '-7' to each side of the equation.
7 + -7 + -0.3x = 4 + -7
Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0
0 + -0.3x = 4 + -7
-0.3x = 4 + -7
Combine like terms: 4 + -7 = -3
-0.3x = -3
Divide each side by '-0.3'.
x = 10
Simplifying
x = 10
I believe it is C, but correct me if I'm wrong.
Minus 5 from both sides so we have 3a=-19 now divide both sides by 3 so we have a=-6 1/3
Answer:
There were 20 picks total
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a proportion to solve this problem. Put the orange picks on top and the total picks on bottom
3 orange 12 orange
-------------- = ---------------
5 total x total
Using cross products
3x = 5*12
3x= 60
Divide each side by 3
3x/3 = 60/3
x = 20
There were 20 picks total
