Let x be equal to the number of drinks Yasmine consumed. 
Jose had 2 times that drink so his number of consumed drink would be represented by 2x.  
Sally had 3 fewer drink than Jose so her number of consumed drinks would be represented by 2x-3.
Altogether, the three of them consumed 72 drinks so your equation would be:
x+2x+(2x-3)=72
add like terms together:
5x-3=72
have the term with x be alone on one side of the equation, in this case by adding three to both sides:
5x=75
now divide both sides by five for the value of x and your answer is.....
x=15

Hi!

Okay, so let's break this down.

Jose drinks twice as many sodas as Yasmine. 
So we know, that..
2j = y

Sally drinks 3 fewer sodas than Jose.
j - 3 = s

The total number of sodas that they consumed is 72.
j + y + s = 72

Now let's try to put in some values. 

Since s = j - 3..
j + y + j - 3 = 72

Simplify..
2j + y - 3 = 72
2j + y = 75

Since y = 2j...
2j + 2j = 75

Simplify..
4j = 75
j = 18.75

Now check our solution. 
18.75 · 2 = s
37.5 = s

18.75 - 3 = y
15.75 = y

18.75 + 15.75 + 37.5 = 72
^the answer

Hope this helps! :)

Write an equation parallel to y= -5/2x + 9 that passes through the point (-6,7) brainly
frozen [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are parallel, that means their slopes are equal.

And we also know that the line must pass through (-6,7)

And with our point-slope equation, we get the equation:

y-7 = -\frac{5}{2} (x+6)

y - 7 = -\frac{5}{2} x-15\\y= -\frac{5}{2} x-8<------ Answer

Hope that helps!

Answer:

perimeter = 6x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the triangle is the distance around the triangle.

We need to apply our ability to convert word problems in to mathematical expressions.

We were told that the bottom of the triangle is x units.

From the diagram perimeter 4x + 12 + x + 3 + x = 6x + 15

Four times the length of the bottom will be 4x .

12 more than 4 times the bottom will be 4x + 12.  

Hence another side of the triangle is 4x + 12.

Finally we were told that the last side is 3 more than the bottom, that will be      x + 3.
