Well if she missed 27, we would need to divide 27 by 3 which gives us 9, then we’d multiply 7 by nine and it’s 63. She made 63 free throws
1. 2x + 50 = 100
subtract 50 on both sides and then divide by 2.
x = 25
180 - 100 = 80
m
2. 7x - 4 = 87
add 4 on both sides and divide by 7.
x = 13
180 - 87 = 93
m
3. 5x - 2 = 38
add both sides by 2 and divide by 5.
x = 8
180 - 38 = 142
m
4. 14 + 6x = 134
subtract both sides by 14 and divide by 6.
x = 20
180 - 134 = 46
m
5. x = 53
m
6. x = 14
m
Answer : x= -4
This type of problem, you set them equal to each other. And then solve. Don’t forget you can multiply each side by denominator to eliminate the fraction.
