[<Answer>] (3):

Hello! I'm Avery. And I would love to help you :)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[<The Explanation>}:


Step one: Distribute

144 = -12(x + 5)
144 = -12x - 60

Step two: Add 60 to both sides

144 = -12x - 60\\144 + 60 = -12 - 60 + 60

Step three: Simplify


Adding..Adding..(Done!): 204 = -12x


Step four: Divide both sides by the same factor

204 = -12x\\\frac{204}{-12} = \frac{-12x}{-12}

Last and not least..Step five:

Divide then, Cancel the terms, Move the Variable to the left...

And.. x = -17 is the answer :D

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope this helps and if it's wrong, you can't sue me! >:D

Bye! Hope this works for you :)

Have a nice day! - Avery <3

1) 144 = -12(x+5)

2) 144= -12x - 60

*Adding + 60 on both sides*

3) 60 + 144 = -12x -60 +60

* +60 -60 =0*

*60 + 144 = 204*

4) 204 = -12x

5) 204/12 = -x

6) 17 = -x

* multiply both sides by -1 to get the variable x to be positive*

7) x = -17

The sophomore class sells tickets to a benefit concert to raise money. Each ticket sells for $15. How much money do they raise?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

D.m=15t

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of tickets is t and the total amount of money collected is m then a product of the price per ticket with the cost of the ticket gives the amount of money collected from the sale of the tickets.

therefore m= t×15

              m=15t
