Answer:
3 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
on the left side there is 3 circles and every circle is 3 grams, so there is 9 grams plus 6 squares for 2 grams its 12 . 9+12 =21 and two triangles with x mass
on the right side there is 2 circles , 2×3 = 6, and 3 squares, 3×2 = 6. 6+6=12 +5x
both sides are equal so we have
21+2x=12+5x
21-12=5x-2x
9=3x
x=3
It will be easier to understand this using a venn diagram :
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: 7
Subtract 5 on both sides to get 4x = x + 21
then, subtract x from 4x and x is 1, so 3x = 21 then divide by 3 on both sides
Answer:
or
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the additional pounds of plant food needed for the landscaper
we know that
The additional pounds of plant food needed for the landscaper plus the pounds in his truck plus the pounds in his shop must be equal to the total pounds of plant food needed
so
The linear equation that represent this problem is
Convert mixed number to an improper fractions
Substitute in the expression above
solve for x
Multiply by (4*6) both sides to remove the fractions
Combine like terms left side
subtract 46 both sides
Divide by 24 both sides
simplify
Convert to mixed number
2x-6=2x+2
We move all terms to the left:
2x-6-(2x+2)=0
We get rid of parentheses
2x-2x-2-6=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
-8!=0
There is no solution for this equation
