Here!
(x+4)+(x+2)+(x+5)= (x+1)+(x+1)+(x+3)+(x+3)
First you want to write the whole equation out. Make each perimeter equal to each other.
Then add both sides separately.
(x+4)+(x+2)+(x+5)
=3x+11
and
(x+1)+(x+1)+(x+3)+(x+3)
=4x+8
Now that you've simplified each side, solve like a normal equation.
3x+11 = 4x+8
-3x -3x
11 = x+8
-8 -8
3=x
Answer:
5 + 1.50x=15.50
1.50x=10.50
x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of movies rented
solve for x
x=7
3 less then x.......x - 3
is equal to 13...= 13
x - 3 = 13 <==
Answer:
They give you the answer just keep going until you get the same answer or use the inverse of what they did
Step-by-step explanation:
The main idea here is to "translate" the words into maths.
First we need to identify the unknowns and label these.
We need to know the number if dimes and the number of quarters. So lets say
x: number of dimes
y: number of quarters
Now lets write equations from the written problem.
We know that there are 36 coind total, thus:
x + y = 36
We also know that the coins total 5.85 dollars, but it is better to count in cents, that is 585 cents.
x are the number of dimes, their value is x*10
y are quarters with value of y*25
thus:
10x+25y=585
We have two equations and two unknowns now, that needs to be solved to get the answer.
x + y = 36
10x+25y=585
