In form ax + b = c: 2x - 8.4 = 5
Solution to equation: x = 6.7
Step-by-step explanation:
4x - 8.4 = 2x + 5
2x - 8.4 = 5
2x = 13.4
x = 6.7
J=amount Jake has; F=amount Fred has=2J
J+F=$54
J+2J=$54
3J=$54
J=$18
ANSWER 1: Jake has $18.
F=2J=2($18)=$36 ANSWER 2: Fred has $36.
Answer:
X=20; pqr = 130°
Step-by-step explanation:
They key here is to notice that the instructions say that qs bisects pqr, meaning that it evenly cuts it into 2 pieces. So, to find x, you just solve for x in the equation 3x+5=2x+25. Then, you plug it back into either side of the equation, at which point, you should get 65. Since it is half of pqr, just double it to get your final answer of 130°
