Answer 8

One month, a music site observed that 60% of the people who downloaded songs from its site downloaded Q Sam's latest single. The equation below represents this information, where x represents the total number of people who downloaded songs from the site that month.

x = 0.6x + 384

How many people who downloaded songs from the site that month downloaded Q Sam's latest single?

576

240

144

960

Answer 9

there are two x's in the equation, was that a typo?

Answer 10

not exactly

Answer 11

Oh okay

Answer 12

they would at least have to give you the number of people who downloaded songs from the site in general

Answer 13

Okay

Answer 14

otherwise you could cancel out the x's...make one side equal 0, then set the 0 equal to y. Are you sure the left hand x is not y?

Answer 15

I copied it from my test but they probably made a mistake

Answer 16

signing off, good luck guys!

Answer 17

well, let's solve the question under the assumption that it's y. If you only have one x and a bunch of numbers, what do you think you could do with them to get your y values?
