9x + 26 + 7x - 17 = 2x + (-3x) + 5x =
16x + 9 = 2x - 3x + 5x =
16x + 9 = 4x
9 = 4x - 16x
9 = - 12x
-9/12 = x
- 3/4 = x
Answer:
52cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
6*3+2((2*5)/2)+4*6
=18+10+24
=52
Let's say this number is a:
a*(a-9) = 90
a^2-9a-90 = 0
(a-15)(a+6) = 0
a = 15 or a = -6
Therefor a. would be the correct answer :)
Given:
Total number of pieces: 117
watch = x
earrings = four times as many earring as watches = 4x
necklaces = half the number of necklaces as earrings = 1/2 * 4x = 2x
bracelets = necklaces = 2x
x + 4x + 2x + 2x = 117
9x = 117
x = 117/9
x = 13
watches: x = 13
earrings: 4x = 4(13) = 52
necklaces: 2x = 2(13) = 26
bracelets: 2x = 2(13) = 26
13 + 52 + 26 + 26 = 117
There are 13 watches, 52 earrings, 26 necklaces, and 26 bracelets.
