Answer:
Solving for variable x
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
<u>Add -2x to each side of the equation</u>
<u></u><u></u>
<u></u>
<u>Combine like terms: 3x + -2x = 1x
</u>
<u></u><u></u>
<u></u>
<u>Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
</u>
<u></u><u></u>
<u></u>
<u>Add 61 to each side of the equation.
</u>
<u></u><u></u>
<u></u>
<u>Combine like terms: -61 + 61 = 0
</u>
<u></u><u></u>
<u></u>
<u>Combine like terms: -50 + 61 = 11
</u>
<u></u><u></u>
<u></u>
<u>Divide each side by 1

x = number of comics Ross bought
A = 10*x = amount spent on buying those x number of comics at $10 each
B = 17*(x-1) = amount Ross gets from selling every comic book except one
B-A = 17*(x-1)-10x = 7x-17 = profit = 49
7x-17 = 49
7x = 49+17
7x = 66
x = 66/7
x = 9.42857 approximately
Because x isn't a whole number, I'm thinking that there's a typo in the problem somewhere. I would double check with your teacher.
