Answer:
x=13
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Isolate the variable
3x - 2 = 37
+2 = +2
2. Divide the equation by the coefficient
3x = 39
/3 /3
3. Answer
x = 13
Answer:
The first amount is larger by 25% or .25a
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets increase a by 50%
The increase is .5a
So the new value is a + .5a = 1.5a
Now we will decrease the new value by 50%
decrease = .5 (1.5a) = .75a
The new value of a is 1.5a - .75a = .75a
a > .75a
a - .75a = .25a
a is bigger than .75a by .25a
Answer: $9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost for adults be a
Let the cost for students be b.
The first van transported 2 adults and 5 students and cost $77. This will be:
2a + 5b = $77
The second van transported 2 adults and 7 students and cost $95. This will be:
2a + 7b = $95
2a + 5b = 77 ...... equation i
2a + 7b = 95 ........ equation ii
Subtract equation ii from I
-2b = -18
b = 18/2
b = $9
An student cost $9
Put the value of b into equation i
2a + 5b = 77
2a + 5(9) = 77
2a + 45 = 77
2a = 77 - 45
2a = 32
a = 32/2
a = 16
An adult costs $16
