Solve for x: 3(x + 1) = -2(x - 1) - 4. • 1

• -1

• -5

• -25

Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+1

3x+3=-2(x-1)-4

Use the distributive property to multiply-2 by x-1

3x+3=-2x-2

Add 2x to both sides

3x+3+2x=-2

Combine 3x and 2x

5x+3=-2

Subtract 3 from both sides

5x=-2-3

Subtract 3 from -2

5x=-5

Divide both sides by 5

x=-5/5

Divide -5 by 5

x=-1

13.33%

say 50 oranges, then 100 apples

80 are red, 20 are yellow

total fruit = 150

20chances out of 150 for yellow

20/150 = 13.33%
