So when you're solving for x here and distribute 8 on the right side, it would look like this:
Now in order to solve for x, we know we have to get all the x's on one side of the equal sign. Let's get all our x's to the left side. Since the right side has a positive 8x, you need to subtract 8x on the right. But whatever you do to one side you must do to the other. So since we are subtracting 8x on the right, we need to do that on the left.
But we can't! Since both sides will cancel out to zero before x can be solved.
Therefore the answer is 0.
Hope that helps!
Answer:
f=2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two numbers be 2x and 3x.
According to the question,
2x+3x=45
5x=45
x=45/5
x=9
so th required numbers are 18 and 27 as
2x=2*9=18
3x=3*9=27
Answer:
x = price of balcony tickets = $7
y = price of orchestra tickets = $21
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = price of balcony tickets
y = price of orchestra tickets
y = 3x (1)
148y + 76x = 3,640 (2)
Substitute y = 3x into (2)
148y + 76x = 3,640 (2)
148(3x) + 76x = 3,640
444x + 76x = 3,640
520x = 3,640
x = 3,640/520
x = 7
Substitute x = 7 into (1)
y = 3x (1)
y = 3(7)
y = 21
x = price of balcony tickets = $7
y = price of orchestra tickets = $21
