585 successful students is 90% of what number of students?

650

Step-by-step explanation:

585/9=65 65=10%

65x10=650

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation :

x + (negative 8) = 3 x + 6.

or

x+(-8) = 3x+6

Step 1.

Add (-3x) to both sides of the equation.

x+(-8) + (-3x) = 3x+6 +(-3x)

x-8 = 3x +6

Step 2.

Add 8 positive unit tiles to both sides and create zero pairs.

x-8+8 = 3x +6 +8

x = 3x +14

Step 3.

x-3x = 14

-2x = 14

x = -7

Hence, step 1 is incorrect as she should have added 3 negative x-tiles to both sides.
