Answer:
x=-10
Step-by-step explanation:
15x+8=-2+14x
15x-14x=-2-8
x=-10
25(2) + 7(1) + 3x = 78....x represents the number of 3 point shots
50 + 7 + 3x = 78
57 + 3x = 78
3x = 78 - 57
3x = 21
x = 21/3
x = 7....so there were 7 three-point shots made
Answer: 6 students
Step-by-step explanation:
The teacher wants to give each student 2/3 of a slice of pizza but only has 4 slices to give.
If each student gets 2/3 out of 4 slices, the number of students receiving will be:
= Slices / proportion per slice
= 4 / 2/3
= 4 * 3/2
= 12/2
= 6 students
Hello!
The Correct Answer to this is that <span>7 divided by 20 or 7/20 equals:
"7/20 = 0.35"
</span>Explanation:
Since you are trying to find equivalent values for 7/20, you can make two proportions and set them equal to each other. The following states that "7 out of 20 is equal to some amount out of 100."
<span><span>7/20</span>=<span>x/100</span></span>
Solve by cross multiplying:
<span>20x=700</span>
Divide both sides by 20 to isolate x:
<span>x=35</span><span> Therefore, </span><span><span>7/20</span>=<span>35/100</span></span><span>. This is the same as saying 35%, since by definition "per" means out of, and "cent" means hundred. To make it into a decimal just move the decimal place two digits to the left, such that 35.00 becomes 0.35, and 100.00 becomes 1. Then it is simply </span><span>0.35/1</span><span>, or 0.35</span>

Hope this Helps! Have A Wonderful Day! :)</span>
