Answer: 42 - 8x
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the complete question:
Jessica had $15. She bought 3 apples for x dollars each. Levi had $27 and bought 5 apples for x dollars each. Which expression represents how much money both Jessica and Levi have left altogether?
Select one:
27 – 5x
42 – 8x
12 – 2x
39 – 3x
From the question, Jessica had $15. She bought 3 apples for x dollars each. This means she had:
15 - (3 × x) = 15 - 3x
Levi had $27 and bought 5 apples for x dollars each. Levi will have:
27 - (5 × x) = 27 - 5x
The amount they'll have altogether will be the addition of their amount left. This will be:
15 - 3x + 27 - 5x
= 15 + 27 - 3x - 5x
= 42 - 8x
increases by 11.1% and his raise £18 and £2 less than what he wants
Distance = 30 mph * time
distance = 4 mph * time
distance = 30 mph * t
distance = 4 mph * (17-t)
Since distance is equal then
30 mph * t = 4 mph * (17-t)
30t = -4t + 68
34t = 68
t = 2 hours
We see the return trip time is (17 -t ) which is 15 hours.
The beginning trip time is 2 hours.
Double Check
Beginning trip = 30 miles * 2 = 60 miles
Return trip = 4 miles * 15 = 60 miles.
