Let his original money is x

So, \frac{x}{2} + \frac{x}{3} + 2.25 = x
or, \frac{3x+2x+(6*2.25)}{6} = x
or, 5x + 13.5 = 6x
or, x = 13.5

So, he had $13.5 originaly. 

Thanks!

1 - (1/2 + 1/3) =
1 - 5/6 =
1/6 = 2.25
2.25 * 6=

13.50

PLEASE I NEED HELP! How do you find y?
myrzilka [38]

In this example, y is equal to 8.

In order to find this, first note that the two x value expressions create a straight line. That means when we add them together they will equal 180. this will give us a value for x.

x + 10 + 10x - 61 = 180

11x - 51 = 180

11x = 231

x = 21

Now that we have the value of x, we can do the same for the straight line created by the x + 10 angle and the 18y + 5 angle.

x + 10 + 18y + 5 = 180

(21) + 10 + 18y + 5 = 180

36 + 18y = 180

18y = 144

y = 8

The sum of x and it’s opposite is always zero?
jeka94

Answer:

1) Let's consider the first case with the number 0 the oppose is also 0 and we have that 0-0=0 so then applies

2) Now let's consider any real number a no matter positive or negative we will have that:

a-a =0

Or in the other case:

-a -(-a) =-a +a=0

So then we can conclude that the expression is a general rule and is true

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can verify if the following expression is true or false:

The sum of x and it’s opposite is always zero?

If we want to proof this we need to show that for any number is true.

1) Let's consider the first case with the number 0 the oppose is also 0 and we have that 0-0=0 so then applies

2) Now let's consider any real number a no matter positive or negative we will have that:

a-a =0

Or in the other case:

-a -(-a) =-a +a=0

So then we can conclude that the expression is a general rule and is true
