First we expand the brackets:
-2a + 8 + 6a = 36
4a + 8 = 36
We then need to get the a's onto one side and the numbers onto the other:
4a = 28
We can then divide to get an x by itself:
a = 28/4 = 7
I think the answer is c -6.5<6.55
Answer: a=36; b=18
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You know that the sum of two numbers is 54, then, you have:
a+b=54
2. According to the problem, the larger number is 18 more than the sampler number, this can be expressed as following:
a=b+18
3. Then, you must substitute the second equation into the first equation and solve for b:
b+18+b=54
b=18
4. Then the value of a is:
a+18=55
a=36
Answer:
x^2 + 3x -1
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 3x-2
g(x) = x^2+1
(f+g)(x) = 3x-2+x^2+1
Combine like terms
= x^2 + 3x -1
Answer:
50 combos
Step-by-step explanation:
Put it into an equation first in order to find x.
2x + 250 = 7x
Subtract 2x from both sides.
250 = 5x
Then divide both sides by 5.
x = 50
Therefore you need 50 combo meals in order to make the amount made equal to the amount paid.
<u>You can check your work by plugging in the number to both.</u>
$250 plus the $2 times 50 combo meals.
250 + 2(50) = 350
$7 times 50 combo meals
7 x 300 = 350
