1. Distributive Property on the left side
2x-24=5x+9
2. Subtract 9 from the right side and do the same on the left side
2x-33=5x
3. Subtract 2x from both left and right sides
-33=3x
4. Divide 3 from Borge left and right sides
-11=x
Answer: x = -11
Answer:
3558 people
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the attendance dropped 8 percent, we know that it's currently at 92% of the original number. We can set up proportions to help us solve this
92/100=3274/x
From here, we can multiply both sides by 100
3274x100 is 327400
Then we multiply both sides by x
Now we are left with 92x=327400
Divide both sides by 92
327400/92 = 3558.7
Obviously we can't have .7 of a person so I would round it down to 3558 people
It would be 15 because the 35 people at most minus the 20 students equals 15 so that would be the greatest number of adults allowed to be there.
Answer:
B (x+7=19)
Step-by-step explanation:
We don't know Steve's age, so make his age=x. If his parrot is 19 years old and he's 7 years older than Steve, you would be adding 7 years onto Steve's age. So, to do that it would be x+7=19 or B!
