1 Two negatives make a positive
\frac{3}{4}(8x-12)=5x-2
​4
​
​3
​​ (8x−12)=5x−2

2 Simplify \frac{3}{4}(8x-12)
​4
​
​3
​​ (8x−12) to \frac{3(8x-12)}{4}
​4
​
​3(8x−12)
​​
\frac{3(8x-12)}{4}=5x-2
​4
​
​3(8x−12)
​​ =5x−2

3 Factor out the common term 44
\frac{3\times 4(2x-3)}{4}=5x-2
​4
​
​3×4(2x−3)
​​ =5x−2

4 Simplify 3\times 4(2x-3)3×4(2x−3) to 12(2x-3)12(2x−3)
\frac{12(2x-3)}{4}=5x-2
​4
​
​12(2x−3)
​​ =5x−2

5 Simplify \frac{12(2x-3)}{4}
​4
​
​12(2x−3)
​​ to 3(2x-3)3(2x−3)
3(2x-3)=5x-23(2x−3)=5x−2

6 Expand
6x-9=5x-26x−9=5x−2

7 Add 99 to both sides
6x=5x-2+96x=5x−2+9

8 Simplify 5x-2+95x−2+9 to 5x+75x+7
6x=5x+76x=5x+7

9 Subtract 5x5x from both sides
6x-5x=76x−5x=7

10 Simplify 6x-5x6x−5x to xx
x=7x=7

At the local pet store, zebra fish cost $2.00 each and neon tetras cost $2.15 each. If Ernesto bought 15 fish for a total cost o
bezimeni [28]
So first create and define your variables:
Z = amount of zebra fish
N = amount of neon tetras

Now create your equations:
2z+2.15n=31.20
z+n=15
This is your system. There are multiple methods to use but in this problem I’ll use the substitution method by simplifying the bottom equation.
2z+2.15n=31.20
z=15-n
Now I’ll plug the bottom equation into the top one.
2(15-n)+2.15n=31.20
And just solve from here.
30-2n+2.15n=31.20
0.15n=1.20
n=8
So he bout 8 neon tetras, and 15-8= 7, so he bought 7 zebra fish

Toni can carry up to 18 lb in her backpack. Her lunch weighs 1 lb, her gym clothes weigh 2 lb, and her books (b) weigh 3 lb each
MrRissso [65]
<span>Toni can carry five books in her backpack. You must start by subtracting the weight of the other required items. Toni's lunch which is one pound and gym clothes which are two pounds. This can be calculated by 18-1-2=15. Toni has 15 pounds left to carry books. She should divide this by the weight of each book, which is three pounds. 15/3=5. Therefore, Toni can carry five books.</span>
