We can start by getting rid of parenthesis:
4x-3x+6=21
Then we can combine like terms:
x=21-6
x=15
So our end product is x=15.
Hope I helped soz if I'm wrong ouo.

Qty · % = Total
Drink 1: x .25 = .25x
Drink 2: 15 - x .10 = .10(15 - x)
Mixture: 15 .21 = .25x + .10(15 - x)
(15)(.21) = .25x + 1.5 - .10x
3.15 = .15x + 1.5
1.65 = .15x
11 = x
Drink 1 (25%) is 11 liters
Drink 2 (10%) is 15 - 11 = 4 liters
Answer:
20 comic books
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us first <u>set up a variable</u>, x, for the number of books that Zoe has. If Jared has 12 more comics than Zoe, he would have x+12 books.
Given that Zoe and Jared have a total of 28 comic books, let us write an <u>equation</u> and solve for x:

Now that we have a <u>simplified</u> version of the equation, let us solve for x by <u>isolating the variable</u> on the left side:

We now know that x=8, and also that Jared has x+12 books. To find the number of comic books Jared has, let us <u>add</u> 12 to x:

Therefore, Jared has 20 comic books.
