5x-6=2x how do i get x

1 answer:

7 0

You will need to do the following

You need to get both of the X's on the same side

So you will take the 5x and subtract it to the other side to get

-6=-3x

-3 times 2 = -6 so therefore -6=-6

-6= -3(2)

Answer: X= 2

The Martinez family went to the movies and paid $60 for two adult tickets and three children’s tickets. The Wright family consis

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

a = $13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = adult tickets

Let c = children tickets

Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation;

For the Martinez family;

2a + 3c = $60

For the Wright family;

3a + 5c = $95.5

Thus, the simultaneous equations are;

$2a + 3c = $60$ ..........equation 1

$3a + 5c = $95.5$ .........equation 2

We would use substitution method to solve;

From equation 2, we make a the subject of formula;

3a = 95.5 - 5c

a = (95.5 - 5c)/3

Substituting the value of "a" into equation 1, we have;

2[(95.5-5c)/3] + 3c = 60

Multiplying all through by 3;

2(95.5 - 5c) + 9c = 180

191 - 10c + 9c = 180

191 - c = 180

c = 191-180

c = $11

To find the value of a;

2a +3c = 60

Substituting the value of "c" into the equation, we have;

$2a + 3(11) = 60$

$2a + 33 = 60$

$2a = 60 - 33$

$2a = 27$

$a = \frac{27}{2}$

a = $13.5

Therefore, the cost of an adult movie ticket is $13.5.

What are some steps for the equation 2=z-14

IgorLugansk [536]

Since the opposite operation of addition is subtraction you subtract. So you add 14 both sides and now z is by itself. finally just add 2 and 14 which is 16

Rachel uses 1/3 cup of oil for every cake she bakes. If she used 4 cups of oil one day, she made __ cakes. If she used 2 cups of

Leno4ka [110]

First answer: 12

Second answer: 6

=================================================

How to get these answers

She uses 1/3 of a cup for 1 cake, so we have this ratio

1/3 cup : 1 cake

Multiply both sides by 3 and we end up with

1 cup : 3 cakes

Then multiply both sides by 4 to change "1 cup" to "4 cups" and we have

4 cups : 12 cakes which is the answer to the first part

-------------

For part 2, we'll follow the same steps as before, but instead of multiplying both sides by 4, we do 2 instead because we're dealing with 2 cups of oil.

1/3 cup : 1 cake

3*(1/3 cup) : 3*(1 cake)

1 cup : 3 cakes

2*(1 cup) : 2*(3 cakes)

2 cups : 6 cakes which is the answer to the second part

What are the steps to 6z+8=200

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Step-by-step explanation:

6z + 8 = 200

subtract 8 from each sides

6z + 8 - 8 = 200 - 8

simplify --> 6z = 192

6z/6 = 192/6

z = 32
