Solving 4=2x is using the division property because in order to get the last portion of that answer u have to divide both sides by 2x to get x by itself
For example
4=2x to get x by itself you have to divide both sides by 2x
And your final answer would be
x is equal to 2 (x=2)
Answer:
x=17/4
Step-by-step explanation:
(x-3)/(x+2)=1/5
cross product
1(x+2)=5(x-3)
x+2=5x-15
5x-x-15=2
4x-15=2
4x=2+15
4x=17
x=17/4
Answer:
Jessica makes $36 less than Kimmie
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> amount paid to Jessica
y ----> amount paid to Lauren
z ----> amount paid to Kimmie
we know that
------> equation A

-----> equation B

-----> equation C
substitute equation B and equation C in equation A and solve for y




<em>Find the value of x</em>

<em>Find the value of z</em>

therefore
The amount paid to Jessica was $24
The amount paid to Lauren was $36
The amount paid to Kimmie was $60
To find out how much less Jessica did than Kimmie, subtract the amount paid to Jessica from the amount paid to Kimmie.

therefore
Jessica makes $36 less than Kimmie
