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! :)

4 = 3x -x-4<br> I need steps to how to do this

vesna_86 [32]

Step-by-step explanation:

so first you combine like terms , 3x-x-4=4 turns into 4x-4=4 then u add 4 to both sides [inverse operations]

4x-4=4

+4 +4

--------------

4x= 8

----------

4. 4

×=2

then u use inverse operations. agian and divide 4 into 8 and you get 2 !! x = 2

Find 25% of 80 kg A 40kg B 10kg C 8kg D 20kg help me plss

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

25% of 80 is D. 20kg

Step-by-step explanation:

50% of 80 is 40 and we know that 25% is half of 50%, so half of 40 would be 20.

So, the answer is D. 20kg

2/7m-1/7=3/14 solve step by step

yulyashka [42]

Solution for $\frac{2}{7}m - \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{14} \ is \ m = \frac{5}{4} \ or \ m = 1\frac{1}{4} \ or \ m = 1.25$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

It is a case about one variable linear quations and we have to solve the equation to get the variable m. There are two ways to solve it!

Our main plan is to isolate the variable m alone at the end of the process on one side of the equation until the variable will be equal to the value on the opposite side.

<u>First way</u>

$\frac{2}{7}m - \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{14}$

Let us add $\frac{1}{7}$ to both sides

$\frac{2}{7}m - \frac{1}{7} + \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{14} + \frac{1}{7}$

$\frac{2}{7}m = \frac{3}{14} + \frac{1}{7}$

On the right side for the addition operation, we equate the common denominator by multiplying $\ \frac{1}{7} \ by \ \frac{2}{2}$

$\frac{2}{7}m = \frac{3}{14} + \frac{2}{14}$

Then we combine terms to get

$\frac{2}{7}m = \frac{5}{14}$

Divide by the coefficient of m, or in other words, multiply both sides by $\frac{7}{2}$

$\frac{2}{7}m \times \frac{7}{2} = \frac{5}{14} \times \frac{7}{2}$

Finally, the solution is obtained as follows

$m = \frac{35}{28}$

Simplify fractions, both the numerator and denominator are divided equally by 7.

$\boxed{ \ m = \frac{5}{4} \ }$

Convert into mixed fractions, we get:

$\boxed{ \ m = 1 \frac{1}{4} \ }$

In decimal form, we get

$m = 1 \frac{25}{100} \rightarrow \boxed{ \ m = 1.25 \ }$

<u>Second way (a quick way)</u>

$\frac{2}{7}m - \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{14}$

Because the denominators 7 and 14 have LCM = 14, both sides are multiplied by 14 (LCM is the Least Common Multiple)

$14 \times \big( \frac{2}{7}m - \frac{1}{7} \big) = 14\times \big( \frac{3}{14} \big)$

We use the distributive property of multiplication on the left side

$\frac{28}{7}m - \frac{14}{7} = \frac{42}{14}$

or it can also directly lead to

$4m - 2 = 3$

Add 2 to both sides, we get

$4m = 5$

Divide by the coefficient of m, or in other words, both sides are divided by 4

$\boxed{ \ m = \frac{5}{4} \ }$

Or, $\boxed{ \ m = 1 \frac{1}{4} \ }$

Or, $m = 1 \frac{25}{100} \rightarrow \boxed{ \ m = 1.25 \ }$

Wanna check the solution into the equation?

$\big( \frac{2}{7} \times \frac{5}{4} \big) - \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{14}$

$\frac{10}{28} - \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{14}$

$\frac{5}{14} - \frac{2}{14} = \frac{3}{14}$

$\frac{3}{14} = \frac{3}{14}$

Both sides show the same value, so the solution is correct.

Note:

Remember, how to manipulate both sides of the equation with the algebraic properties of equality such as:

adding,
subtracting,
multiplying, and/or
dividing both sides of the equation with the same number.

In the form of fractions, the steps that must be considered are

equate the denominator,
simplify fractions, and
for the final answer, convert fractions to mixed fractions or decimal forms

All these processes can occur repeatedly until the isolated variables are obtained on one side of the equation.

What are the solutions of ×^2=8-5×?

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

x=8 & x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to get the (x)s all on one side.

add 5x to each side

${x}^{2} + 5x = 8$

Since x^2 is x•x and 5x is 5•x then we can change the formula to

x(x+5)=8

then seperate that

x=8

x+5=8

subtract 5 from each side

x=3.

The solutions are 8 and 3.
