ON YOUR OWN:
At a clothing company, an inspector finds 5 defective pairs of jeans
in a shipment of 200. If this trend continues, about how many pairs
of jeans would you expect to be defective in a shipment of 5000?

125 defective jeans

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that;

During inspections, 5 defective pairs of jeans are found in a shipment of 200 pairs of jeans .

We are supposed to determine the number of defective jeans in a shipment of 5000 pairs, if the trend continues.

Therefore;

5 defective = 200 pairs

What about in 5000 pairs?

Number of defective pairs = (5000 × 5 ) ÷ 200

                                            = 125 defective pairs

Thus, in a shipment of 5000 pairs of jeans there will be 125 defective pairs

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
