What value for x makes the following statement true?

2

Step-by-step explanation:

we can isolate the variable by subtracting 3x from both sides

3x + 12 = 5x + 8

-3x          -3x      

        12 = 2x + 8

and then subtracting 8 from both sides

12 = 2x + 8

-8           -8

4 = 2x

then we divide by 2 on both sides

 4 = 2x

÷2   ÷2

2 = x

flip the equation to get:

x=2

checking the solution by plugging in 2 in place of x:

(3 * 2) + 12 = (5 * 2) + 8

6 + 12 = 10 + 8

18 = 18

since the equation is true,

the solution x = 2 is correct.

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.
