Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The left side would be (3x - 12)
The right side would be (-4x+2)

In an equation, 3x - 12 = -4x+2

Combine all the letters on the left and plain numbers on the right,

3x + 4x = 12 + 2

Note: When you transfer to the other side of the equal sign, the number will change its sign.

Simplify the 3x + 4x = 12 + 2,

                     7x = 14

                      x=\frac{14}{7}

                      x = 2

Answer:

  • x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

\large\begin{gathered} \sf{Simplify \ using \ the \ distributive \ property:} \\ \sf{3(x-4)=2(-2x+1)} \\  \ \sf{3x-12=-4x+2} \\ \rm{Move \ 12 \ to \ the \ right, \ with \ the \ opposite \ sign} \\ \ \sf{ 3x=-4x+2+12} \\ \rm{Move \ -4x \ to \ the \ left, \ wth \ the \ opposite \ sign.} \\  \sf{3x+4x=14} \\  \rm{Collect \ the \ like \ terms} \\ \sf{7x=14} \\  \rm{Divide \ the \ entire \ equation \ by 7.} \\ \sf{\dfrac{7x}{7}=\dfrac{14}{7} \\ \sf{x=2}  \ \bigstar \end{gathered}

Done!!

Jocelyn and Madelyn go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends.
Alik [6]

let's make p stand for popcorn and d for drinks. Using those variables, we can create our equations:

2p + 3d = 18.25

4p + 2d = 27.50

From this, we can use substitution or elimination to solve:

For substitution, in the second equations, we could factor out a 2, divide both sides by 2, and then move the left over 2p to the other side to isolate d to put into the first equation.

For elimination, we can multiply the first equation by -2 so that we can remove the 4p and focus on solving for d.

I'll be using elimination in this case:

-2(2p + 3d = 18.25) --> -4p - 6d = -36.50

-4p - 6d = -36.50

4p  + 2d = 27.50

-4d = -9.00

d = 2.25

4p + 2 * 2.25 = 27.50

4p + 4.50 = 27.50

4p = 23.00

p = 5.75

Now let's check our answer:

2 * 5.75 + 3 * 2.25 = 18.25

11.50 + 6.75 = 18.25

18.25 = 18.25

So drinks cost $2.25 and popcorn $5.75
