4.5(8 - x) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(3x + 24)
36 - 4.5x + 36 = 102 - 7.5x - 60
72 - 4.5x = 42 - 7.5x
-4.5x + 7.5x = 42 - 72
3x = - 30
x = -30/3
x = -10 <===
Hope this helps!
Simple answer to the equation without the circumstances:
3.1x - 1.6x = 35 + 10
1.5x = 45
x = 30
Answer: $5
Step-by-step explanation: This can be represented by the equation
40 + 12T = 25 + 15T
We just solve for T.
Subtract 12T from both sides
40 = 25 + 3T Subtract 25
15 = 3T Divide by 3
5 = T
