Remember: PEMDAS - Parentheses, exponents, multiply/divide, add/subtract
Distribute: 9(1+x) = 9+9x
19 - 5x = 9 + 9x
Add 5x to both sides of the equation and subtract 9 from both sides.
19 - 5x + (5x) = 9 + 9x + (5x)
19 - (9) = 9 - (9) + 14x
10 = 14x
Divide both sides by 14 to get the variable on its own.
10/14 = 14x/14
10/14=x
5/7 = x
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
4/49
Step-by-step explanation:
7-5 = 2
2/7*2/7 = 4/49
A- Veronica —> v=5+2m
Total —> v+m=32
B- since you already know that to get veronica’s number of stuffed animals, you need to use v=5+2m, you need to substitute it in the total equation. So it’ll be:
(5+2m)+m=32
(5+2m) represents veronica’s stuffed animals
m represents Mariposa’s stuffed animals
C- Mariposa —> 9
Veronica —> 23
