Let x be equal to the number of drinks Yasmine consumed.
Jose had 2 times that drink so his number of consumed drink would be represented by 2x.
Sally had 3 fewer drink than Jose so her number of consumed drinks would be represented by 2x-3.
Altogether, the three of them consumed 72 drinks so your equation would be:
x+2x+(2x-3)=72
add like terms together:
5x-3=72
have the term with x be alone on one side of the equation, in this case by adding three to both sides:
5x=75
now divide both sides by five for the value of x and your answer is.....
x=15
Option as is correct hope this helped have a nice day
Answer:
28 different ways
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a combination question. Combination has to do with selection.
Total number of element in the set = 8
Number divisible by 6 or 8 are {-98, -48, -42, -36, -18, -6}
Total number divisible by 6 or 8 is 6
The number of ways we can choose 6 items from 8 is expressed as;
8C6 = 8!/(8-6)!6!
8C6 = 8!/(2)!6!
8C6 = 8*7*6!/2!6!
8C6 = 8*7/2
8C6 = 56/2
8C6 = 28 ways
Hence there are 28 different ways
-6n-20=-2n+4-12n
-6n-20=-14n+4
+6n +6n
-20=-8n+4
-4 -4
-24=-8n
/8 /8
n=-3
