Answer:

Answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a(n-2)+5=bn

Add -bn to both sides

an-2a+5+(-bn)=bn+(-bn)

an-bn-2a+5=0

add two a to both sides

an−bn−2a+5+(2a)=0+(2a)

an−bn+5=2a

Add -5 to both sides

an−bn+5+(-5)=2a+(-5)

an−bn=2a−5

Factor out our variable

n(a−b)=2a−5

Divide both sides by a-b

n(a-b)/a-b=2a-5/a-b

n=2a-5/a-b

Hope this helps

Celeste wants to have her hair cut and permed and also go to lunch she knows she will need $50 the perm cos twice as much as her

e-lub [12.9K]

Lets say the cost of her haircut is $x. This makes the cost of her perm 2x (twice as much). If lunch ($5), the perm ($2x) and the haircut ($x) cost, in total, $50, we can say:

50 = 5 + 2x + x
Combine like terms:
50 = 5 + 3x
Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate 3x
50 - 5 = 3x
45 = 3x
Divide all by 3 to isolate x
x = 45/3
x = 15

So the haircut is $15 and the perm is $30 (2*$15).
