Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
3(x−5)−5=23
(3)(x)+(3)(−5)+−5=23(Distribute)
3x+−15+−5=23
(3x)+(−15+−5)=23(Combine Like Terms)
3x+−20=23
3x−20=23
Step 2: Add 20 to both sides.
3x−20+20=23+20
3x=43
Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.
3x

If you divide 4.16 by 5.20 you get .8 which would be .80 cents a pound
If the weight of the little brother is x, then the weight of Charles is x + 9
The equation that can be used to determine what each one weighs is:
x + (x + 9) = 99.
Let us now solve it.
x + x +9 = 99
2x + 9 = 99
2x = 99 - 9
2x = 90
x = 90/2
x = 45
Little brother's weight is 45 kg.
Charles' weight will be 45 + 9 = 54 kg
Adding these two weights will give 99kg
M<UWV =180- 99 -36= 45
45 = 1/2(94+20- arcUV)
45=57 - arcUV/2
arcUV / 2 = 57-45
arcUV / 2 =12
arcUV = 12(2)
arcUV = 24
answer is B. 24
