Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 2 = 8

get rid of 2 to get x by itself on the left side

5x - 2 + 2 = 8 + 2 (whatever u do to one side do to the other)

5x = 10

divide to get 1x (divide both sides by 5)

x = 10

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

5×2=10-2=8

You subtract add two to both sides, giving you 5x=10

Divide the 10 by 5 and you get 2.

The students at Midtown Middle school sold flowers as a fundraiser in September and October. In October, they charged $1.50 for
Phoenix [80]
Let the price of flowers in September be x, then (100 + 20)/100 * x = $1.50
120/100 * x = $1.50
1.2x = $1.50
x = $1.50/1.2 = $1.25
The price of flowers in September is $1.25

Total money realised in September = $1.25 x 900 = $1,125
40% earned = 0.4 x $1,125 = $450

Total money realised in October = $1.50 x 700 = $1,050
40% earned = 0.4 x $1,050 = $420

The class earned more money in September and they earned $30 more than in October.
