Hello!

Answer:

$\boxed{x=4}$

The answer should have a positive sign.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you do is expand.

5(x-10)=5x-50

5x-50=30-15x

Then add by 50 both sides of an equation.

5x-50+50=30-15x+50

Simplify.

5x=-15x+80

Next add 15x both sides of an equation.

5x+15=-15x+80+15x

Simplify.

20x=80

Divide by 20 both sides of an equation.

20x/20=80/20

Simplify and solve.

80/20=4

$\boxed{x=4}$ , which is our final answer.

Hope this helps you!

Have a nice day! :)

Thanks!

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation has 3 terms. Divide all of them by 5 to simplify the equation.

We get:

x - 10 = 6 - 3x

Combining the x terms, we get 4x - 10 = 6, or 4x = 16, or x = 4.

aliina [53]

The cost of popcorn, drinks, and candy is 5.25, 3.5, and 1.75.

Given,

Eva bought popcorn, candy, and a drink at the movies.

The popcorn was three times as expensive as the candy and the drink was twice as expensive as the candy.

Eva spent a total of 10.50

We need to find the cost of popcorn, candy, and drink.

We have,

Let the cost of the candy be C.

Now,

The popcorn was three times as expensive as the candy.

Cost of the Popcorn = 3C

The drink was twice as expensive as the candy.

Cost of the drink = 2C

Eva spent a total of 10.50

Cost of popcorn + cost of drink + cost of candy = 10.50

3C + 2C + C = 10.50

Adding

6C = 10.50

Dividing by 6 into both sides

C = 10.50/6

C = 1.75.

Now,

Cost of the Popcorn = 3C = 3 x 1.75 = 5.25

Cost of the drink = 2C = 2 x 1.75 = 3.5

Cost of the candy = C = 1.75

Thus the cost of popcorn, drinks, and candy is 5.25, 3.5, and 1.75.

Answer:

The answer is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is -2 because the question is asking what -1/3 minus 1 2/3. Let's put this as an improper fraction. You will have -1/3 minus 5/3. When you subtract it, you get -6/3 which is the same as -2. I hope this helps!
