Answer:

x = -5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

"3 more than a number" is 3 + x

The product of 3+x and 8 is (3+x)(8)

Solve:

(3 + x)(8) = 14
24 + 8x = 14
8x = -10
x = -10/8 = -5/4

Surveys indicate that two-thirds of all voters in Ward 5 plan on choosing Spike Jones for commissioner. If there are 500 voters

olya-2409 [2.1K]

<u>Answer:</u>

333 people of ward 5 are going to be voting for Spike Jones.

<u>Solution:</u>

We have been given that two-thirds of all voters in Ward 5 plan on choosing Spike Jones for commissioner.

There are 500 voters in Ward 5.

Since 2/3 of all voters in Ward 5 are voting for Spike Jones the remaining 1/3 will not be voting for him.

To find out how many people in ward 5 are exactly voting for Spike Jones. We need to calculate how much is two thirds of 500 is.

This is done as follows:

$\begin{array}{l}{\frac{2}{3} \times 500} \\\\ {=\frac{1000}{3}} \\\\ {=333.334}\end{array}$

Since people cannot be denoted in decimal points we have to round it off to a whole number. That’s is 333.

Therefore 333 people of ward 5 are going to be voting for Spike Jones.
