4-x=31
-4=-4
x=27
27 is the answer
Answer:
20 comic books
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us first <u>set up a variable</u>, x, for the number of books that Zoe has. If Jared has 12 more comics than Zoe, he would have x+12 books.
Given that Zoe and Jared have a total of 28 comic books, let us write an <u>equation</u> and solve for x:

Now that we have a <u>simplified</u> version of the equation, let us solve for x by <u>isolating the variable</u> on the left side:

We now know that x=8, and also that Jared has x+12 books. To find the number of comic books Jared has, let us <u>add</u> 12 to x:

Therefore, Jared has 20 comic books.

Answer:
[7, -4, -8]
Step-by-step explanation:
Just simply plug in each choice into the equations to confirm their authenticities.
2 x 1/4 is the same as 1/4 + 1/4
I guess you want to calculate the value of e. If so then:
-8.e = 4 . Divide both sides by 4:
-2.e = 1. Divide both sides by 2:
-e = 1/2. Multiply both sides with (-):
e = - 1/2
