To solve, we must get x by itself. the first step we must take is to remove all of the parentheses. To do this, we must use distribution to multiply 5 by x - 6.

5(x - 6) = 3x - 18 + 2x

5x - 30 = 3x - 18 + 2x

Next, we must add like terms.

5x - 30 = 5x - 18

Finally, we must get x by itself. to do this, we must subtract 5x from both sides.

5x - 30 - 5x = 5x - 18 - 5x

Then, we add like terms again.

-30 = -18

Because this is a false statement, the equation is a contradiction.

Answer:

<em>4a ) Difference ⇒ $ 63.24,</em>

<em>4b ) 4 children</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

4a ) If the number of children is represented by the value of x, let us substitute a family of 2 children as value of x into this equation we are given;

y = 21.08 * ( 2 ) + 85.15 ⇒ Multiply 21.08 by 2,

y = 42.16 + 85.15 ⇒ Combine like terms,

y = 127.31

If y ⇒ amount spent on grocery's, let us solve for the amount spent on 5 children, and subtract from this amount;

y = 21.08 * ( 5 ) + 85.15 ⇒ Multiply 21.08 by 5,

y = 105.4 + 85.15 ⇒ Combine like terms,

y = 190.55

Difference; 190.55 - 127.31 = 63.24,

<em>Solution; Difference ⇒ $ 63.24</em>

4b ) If the amount is $ 169.47, let us plug it into our given equation provided amount spent on groceries ⇒ y;

169.47 = 21.08x + 85.15 ⇒ Subtract 85.15 from either side of equation,

21.08x = 84.32 ⇒ Divide either side 21.08,

x = 4 children

<em>Solution; 4 children</em>

What’s 4x + 7y + 4 + 5x + y
fomenos

Hello!

Okay, so first we need to add like terms... so first, add the terms with the same variables. That gives us:

9x + 7y + 4 + y

Now add 7y and y

That gives us:

9x + 8y + 4

This can't be added anymore... this is as far as we can go because they are no longer like terms.
