A. 7
B. 50
C. 14
D. 42
Fourteen is 28% of B) 50
Why, you ask? Let's see -
Let the unknown number be n, for 'number'.
Let's put the unknown n next to 28%
.28n% = 14
(Think, what times .28 equals 14? Look below to find out! ↓ )
Let's now do the opposite of the actual equation - divide the two known numbers by each other -
.28 ÷ 14 = 50
When in doubt, check your answer:
To check this, we would do the opposite - Multiplication
Multiply .28 by 50 to get 14 (At least you should get 14)
.28 × 50 DOES EQUAL 14! We were right! :D

B. The equation has a variable on both sides
C. The equation is true for any value of x.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
If you simplify the equation you are left with 5 = -1, which is an untrue statement. Therefore, no matter what value you use for x you will always be left with 5 = -1.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is not true for any value of x because it has 4x on both sides, but has both +5 and -1 on both sides, so this is impossible.
The equation would never work because the left side would always be bigger than the right side and vice versa.
3.) Explain what your solution means in the context of the problem.
Answer:
1)
Ola taxi charges a $8 flat rate in addition to $2 per mile. Paul has no more than $10 to spend on a ride.
2)
Let x be the number of miles.
Then, we have inequality:
Solve the inequality: .
Subtract 2 from both the sides:
Simplify:
Divide by 8 both sides we get;
as shown in figure 1.
4)
From the context of the problem :
we can say that Paul can travel 1 miles or less before reaching his limit of $10.
Answer:
A football team wants to by a football. The football costs $51. There are 11 members of the team. How much will each of the team members contribute to be able to purchase the football if they had $29 already.
Solution: Let the amount each team member contributes be x, then
11x + 29 ≥ 51
11x ≥ 51 - 29
11x ≥ 22
x ≥ 22/11
x ≥ 2
