There are 42 dogs at the local shelter. Which equation can be used to determine how many dogs the shelter can provide for if it is currently at 60% capacity? 42/x=100/60 42/x=40/100 42/60=100/x 60/100=42/x

100/60 = 42 / x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of dogs at shelter = 42

Capacity of shelter = 60%

Number of dogs shelter can cater for :

Let number of dogs shelter can cater for = x

60% of 42 = x

(60/100) * 42 = x

60/100 = x / 42

Reciprocal of both sides

100/60 = 42 / x

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10
