3*(1/6)- 18=72 what is the value of x

you need an x in the equation

-3* 1/6 x - 18 = 72

add 18 to each side

-3 * 1/6 x = 90

multiply 3 * 1/6

-1/2 x = 90

multiply by -2 on each side

-2 * (-1/2) x = -2 * 90

x = -180

dont know

step-by-step explanation:

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.
