Answer: x = -5 1/7
Step-by-step explanation:
-22 - x = 5 + 6x + 9
First, combine the like terms 5 and 9
5 + 9 = 14
-22 - x = 14 + 6x
Add x to each side
-22 = 14 + 7x
Subtract 14 from each side
-36 = 7x
Divide each side by 7
x = -5 1/7 (Yes, a fraction.)
Answer:
$34
Step-by-step explanation:
I'd work backwards.
For the third book, she paid all her remaining money. The problem says she paid "1/2 her leftover money + $3". This means that: (let m = money used to buy book 3)
m = 1/2m + 3
1/2m = 3
m = 6
For the second book: (let n = money before book 2)
n - m (money left after book 2) = 1/2n + 2
1/2n +2 is money used up for book, which is the same as n-m.
n = 1/2n + 2 + m
1/2n = 2 + m = 2 + 6
1/2n =8
n = 16
For the first book, she spent 1/2 her money + 1. If o = money before book 1 (or the whole allowance):
o - n = 1/2o + 1
o = 1/2o + n + 1 = 1/2o + 16 + 1
1/2o = 17
o = 34
Check!
Spent 17 (half 34) + 1 on book 1
16 left
Spent 8 (half 16) +2 on book 2
6 left
Spent 3 (half 6) + 3 on book 3
0 left

Answer:
n<2
Step-by-step explanation:
6.2n<2n+8.4
Move variable to the left hand side and change its sign
6.2n - 2n < 8.4
Combine like terms
4.2n < 8.4
divide both side by 4.2
n < 2
