Answer: 2,000

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write the equation 2x + 3x = 5000

Then combine like terms 5x = 5000

Divide by 5 on both sides x = 1000

Find 2x 2x = 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

Good question. Every answer above 0 is already too many. Let x be the base number to see how the 5000 is divided up.

Equation

2x + 3x = 5000

Solution

2x + 3x = 5000               Combine the left.

5x = 5000                       Divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = 5000/5                Combine

x = 1000

Answer

2x = the number of telemarketers which is 2*1000 = 2000

3x = the number of junk mails which is 3*1000  = 3000

Notice the answers are 2000/3000 = 2:3 which is what it should

Answer: 2000 where telemarketers.

Answer:

A. 228.5

B. 10

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Since <em>x</em> represents the number of months, replace <em>x</em> with 6 in the equation. Then multiply 29x6, which equals 174. Then add 174+54.5, which equals 228.5.

B. You need to solve for <em>x</em> by switching the signs in the equation<em>. </em>Set the original equation (29x+54.5) equal to 344.50. To solve for <em>x, </em>first subtract 344.50-54.5, which equals 290 (you subtract because it's the opposite of adding). Then divide 290÷29, which equals 10. You can check your work by replacing <em>x</em> in the original equation with 10, and if you get 344.5, your answer is correct.

Good luck :)
