Equation for company a: y=20x+8
Equation for company b: y=24x+4
Company A would be cheaper for 5 loads of laundry, because it is $108 dollars opposed to $124 which is what company b would charge for 5 loads.
$32 dollars is saved by using the services of company A instead of company B to clean 9 loads of laundry.

What is the value of x? <br> -2/7x+6+1/7x=18 <br> x=
Alenkinab [10]
- \frac{2}{7} x + 6 + \frac{1}{7} x = 18

First, simplify \frac{2}{7} x to \frac{2x}{7} / Your problem should look like: -\frac{2x}{7} + 6 + \frac{1}{7} x = 18
Second, simplify \frac{1}{7} x to \frac{x}{7} / Your problem should look like: - \frac{2x}{7} + 6 + \frac{x}{7} = 18
Third, simplify - \frac{2x}{7} + 6 + \frac{x}{7} to - \frac{x}{7} + 6 / Your problem should look like: -\frac{x}{7} + 6 = 18
Fourth, regroup terms. / Your problem should look like: 6 - \frac{x}{7} = 18
Fifth, multiply both sides by 7. / Your problem should look like: 42 - x = 126
Sixth, subtract 42 from both sides. / Your problem should look like: -x = 126 - 42
Seventh, simplify 126 - 42 to 84. / Your problem should look like: -x = 84
Eighth, multiply both sides by -1. / Your problem should look like: x = -84

Answer: x = -84

Leah cut a 7 inch ribbon into pieces that are 1/2 an inch long. How many pieces of ribbon did she cut? ​
photoshop1234 [79]

14 ribbons.

7 divided by 1/2 is 14. dividing by a fraction or decimal is just like multiplying without the decimal point or numerator.
