Let x be equal to the number of drinks Yasmine consumed.
Jose had 2 times that drink so his number of consumed drink would be represented by 2x.
Sally had 3 fewer drink than Jose so her number of consumed drinks would be represented by 2x-3.
Altogether, the three of them consumed 72 drinks so your equation would be:
x+2x+(2x-3)=72
add like terms together:
5x-3=72
have the term with x be alone on one side of the equation, in this case by adding three to both sides:
5x=75
now divide both sides by five for the value of x and your answer is.....
x=15
First of all, you would make 6 1/4 into an improper fraction. This makes it 25/4, then you multiply it by 2 to get 50/8 and have common denominators. Divide that by 1/8, which would be 50. Then since each 1/8 costs 2 dollars you would multiply 50 by 2. So, the answer would be that they made 100 dollars.
Answer:
b =-2
Step-by-step explanation:
-3b+7=13
Subtract 7 from each side
-3b+7-7=13-7
-3b = 6
Divide each side by -3
-3b/-3 = 6/-3
b = -2
