Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

solving algebraically:

(x = the unknown number)

(our goal is to isolate x/get x by itself)

  2x + 5 = 5x - 16     {equation written out}

 -2x         -2x

        5 = 3x - 16

   + 16        + 16

      21 = 3x

    ÷3   ÷3

      7 = x

check:

(2)(7) + 5 = (5)(7) - 16

14 + 5 = 35 - 16

19 = 19

hope this helps!!

A group of friends is sharing 2 & 1/2 pounds of berries. If each friend received 5/4 of a pound of berries, how many friends
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the number of friends sharing the berry, what we need to do is to divide the total pound of berries by the amount of berries each friend received.

Now it would be easier if we worked in the decimal fraction route

That means we are to divide 2.5 by 1.25

And the answer to this is just 2

2. Bella's cell phone costs $18 per month plus $0.15 for every minute she uses the phone. Last month her bill was $29.25. For ho
Alex777 [14]
Hello! So in order to solve this problem, it's best to start off making an equation.    $18 + $.15x = $29.25  

In this equation x represents the number of minutes she used. So now, we just have to solve for x.

First subtract $18 from both sides. Your new equation will be $.15x = $11.25. Then divide both sides by $.15 to get x by itself. $11.25/$.15 = 75.

So we can conclude that Bella spoke on the phone for 75 minutes this last month. Hope this helps!
