-2(6-x)= 3x, the solution is find the value of x, you must apply distributive property, tho the first term, -12+2x= 3x⇒ 3x-2x= -12⇒ x = -12, the answer correct is option D
Answer:
New price of the ball after discount = $16.65
Step-by-step explanation:
Selling price of the soccer ball = $45
Discount labeled on the ball = 63% off
Therefore, selling price after the discount = Original selling price - %discount
= $45 - (63% of $45)
= $45 - $28.35
= $16.65
New price of the ball after discount = $16.65
Set up a proportion.
2/3 = 12/x. Cross multiply the proportion.
2x = 36. Solve for x.
x = 18.
To solve problems like this you can either graph or solve mathematically. To do the ladder we need to solve for one variable at a time. So lets cancel one variable out.
Multiply equation 1 by 2
This will give 4x-2y=14
Now we can get rid of y by subtracting 2 from 1
This will give x=9
Plug back in to either equation, i will use equation 2
3(9)-2y=5 simplify
-2y=-22 solve
Y=11
