When you have this type of problem, you need to combine the like-terms and isolate the variable.

3x + 122 = 22x - 11

Add 11 to both sides to get rid of it

3x + 122 + 11 = 22x - 11 + 11     (-11 + 11=0)

3x + 133 = 22x

Then you would bring the 3x to the other side, so subtract 3x from both sides

3x + 133 = 22x

-3x             -3x

133 = 22x - 3x

133 = 19x

Then divide both sides by 19 to isolate x

133/19 = 19x/19

133/19 = 7, so x = 7

Hope this helps!!

At a birthday party pizzas and sodas were purchased for the kids. The number of sodas bought was two more than three times the n
ohaa [14]

Answer:

61

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Let the pizzas = x

Let the sodas = y

Equation

y = 3x + 2

<u>Part A</u>

y = 3*8 + 2

y = 24 + 2

y = 26

<u>Part B</u>

Sodas = 26* 1.25 = 32.50

Pizzas =9.50 * 3  = 28.50

Total for both = 32.50 + 28.50 = 61
