Answer:
x = 6
Option A.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that
If A, B and C are collineal points, they all pass through a common line.
<--------------14-------------->
A-----------B----------------C
<-----x-----><------x+2---->
Based on the problem and the diagram above,
(x) + (x+2) = 14
(2x+2) = 14
(2x) = 12
(x) = 6
Okay, think of it this way:
You have to find how many times 4,000 goes into 150,000.
This will tell you how many costumes you can buy.
To make this easier, we can divide 4 by 150. (this is proportional to 4,000 and 150,000 since we took 3 zeros from each number; you will get the same answer)
150/4= 37.5
You can buy 37 whole costumes.
Hope this helped!
Step 3:
5x + 20 + 3x + 9x + 7 becomes
5x + 3x + 9x + 20 + 7
Step 4:
(5x + 3x + 9x) + (20 + 7)
Step 5:
17x + 27
