Answer:
x= 15
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use cross products to solve this problem
7 2x+5
-- = --------
3 x
7x = 3(2x+5)
Distribute
7x = 6x +15
Subtract 6x from each side
7x-6x = 6x-6x+15
x = 15
Answer:
£0.50
Step-by-step explanation:
t = one cup of tea
c = one piece of cake
t + c = £1.10
2t + c = £1.70
the cost increases by £0.60 (£1.70 - £1.10) when you order one more cup of tea which means that one cup of tea costs £0.60
substitute £0.60 into t + c = £1.10
£0.60 + c = £1.10
rearrange to get c = £1.10 - £0.60 = £0.50
so one piece of cake costs £0.50
Hi there!
Your question:
8.5 + 49(1-2.5k)=24.5
My answer:
8.5 + 4(1-2.5k) = 24.5 >>>>>>> first, you have to distribute
8.5 + 4 - 10k = 24.5 >>>>>>>> now, we are going to combine like terms.
12.5 - 10k = 24.5 >>>>>> now, we are going to subtract 12.5 on both sides
-10k = 12 >>>>>>>>> finally, divide -10 on both sides
k = -1.2
Hope this helps you!
