A) -3 · x = -21

b) -7x + 16 = 2x - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

a) -3x = -21

Divide both sides by (-3)

-3x/-3 = -21/-3

x = 7

b)  -7x + 16 = 2x - 20

Subtract 16 from both sides

-7x + 16 -16 = 2x - 20 -16

-7x = 2x - 36

Subtract 2x from both sides

-7x -2x = 2x - 36 - 2x

-9x = -36

Divide both sides by (-9)

-9x/-9 = -36/-9

x = 4

answer: 0.95, d

step-by-step explanation:

first, you have to combine the percentages of costumers ordering pizza or salad. 25% (percent of salads ordered) plus 70% (percent of pizzas ordered) is equal to 95%. then, turn 95% into a fraction: 95/100. lastly, divide 95 by 100 and you will get 0.95, d.
