x = ×-3/4
because you hace the variable x and you do not know the number of fruit snacks he ate and you need to have the same variables to properly find the answer.
Answer:
x = -13
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute:
8 - 6x + 10x - 15 = 20 - 5x
Combine like terms:
4x - 7 = 20 - 5x
Isolate Variable
-x = 13
-1(-x) = -1(13)
x = -13
For both of the contests, the variable is the number of competitors which we can set as x.
Consequently, the equation should be 5.50x+34.60=4.25x+64.60
5.50x=4.25x+30
1.25x=30
x=24
The fee of the contests is the same when there are 24 competitors
