262-b=184 this will be your answer to the problem
Answer:
$466
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent her salary by s. Then the amount spent on rent is s/2.
After spending 168 on her electric and water bills, she had s/2 - 168 dollars left. She spent half of this on her phone bill, leaving her with
s/2 - 168
-------------- dollars.
2
After buying $57 worth of gas, she had
s/2 - 168
-------------- - 57 dollars left, and this came to $92.
2
We must now solve for s.
First, multiply all three terms by 2. We get
s/2 - 168 - 2(57) = 2(92), or
s/2 - 168 - 114 = 184
Simplifying this, we get s/2 = 168 + 114 + 184, or s/2 = 466.
She spent half her salary (that is, half of s) on rent. As seen above, this is $466.
1. Isolate the y. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
First, multiply 12 to both sides
-y/12(12) = 6(12)
-y = 6(12)
-y = 72
Isolate the y. Divide -1 from both sides
-y/-1 = 72/-1
y = -72
-72 is your answer for y

2. Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
x/4 = 8
First, multiply 4 to both sides
x/4(4) = 8(4)
x = 8(4)
x = 32
32 is your answer for x
