3x(2) + 2(2x - 20) = 16 - 2x(2)
6x + 4x - 40 = 16 - 4x
10x - 40 = 16 - 4x
14x - 40 = 16
14x = 56
x = 4
Hope this helps! ;)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's express all the given numbers as decimals:
nine tenths- 0.9
0.3
0.8
five tenths- 0.5
two tenths- 0.2
Ordering them from least to greatest:
two tenths, 0.3, five tenths, 0.8, nine tenths
So I think you should set up an equation like this: 14.95x+16.88y=131.18 , x+y=8
so x=8-y, plug this into the original equation:
14.95(8-y)+16.88y=131.18
Evaluate: 119.60-14.95y+16.88y=131.18
Combine like terms: 119.60+1.93y=131.18
Subtract 119.60 from both sides. You get: 1.93y=11.58
Divide both sides by 1.93. You get y=6
Plug into second equation: x+y=8 ---> x+6=8 and solve for x. x=2
Christine bought 2 video games and 6 CDs. 14.95(2)+16.88(6)=131.18
Lol I'll just comment to get 5 points
