In a neighborhood, 5 % of the houses have red mailboxes. A student counts 60 red mailboxes in the neighborhood. Which of the following is the total number of houses in the neighborhood?

its a straight line parallel to the time axis

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

probably .5
