What is the value of x in the equation 13x - 2(8 + 5x) =12 - 11x

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation :

T o solve the above equation for x  , we use BODMAS ( Bracket → Of → Divide→ Multiply→ Add→ Subtract)

According to BODMAS , we first simplify brackets , we get

[∵ (-)(+)=(-)]

Add 11x and 16 on both sides and combine like terms,

Divide both sides by 14 , we get

Hence, the value of x = 2

75 tickets have been sold so far.

step-by-step explanation:

in this question it is clearly mentioned that 45 children's tickets have been sold and this number is 60% of the total tickets sold.

now let's assume the total number of tickets sold be x.

then 60% of x = 45

⇒

⇒ x(.6) = 45

by dividing with .6 on both the sides of the equation

⇒ x = 75

therefore 75 tickets have been sold so far.
