Answer:
i) x points; ii) 2x - 75 = -25; iii) x = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
i) Starting points
Let's say you had x points before doubling your score.
(ii) The equation
After doubling score: 2x points
After losing 75 points: (2x - 75) points
At end of game: -25 points
The equation is
2x - 75 = -25
iii) Solution to equation
2x - 75 = -25 Add 75 to each side
2x = 50 Divide each side by 2
x = 25
Answer:
A) 29/8
Step-by-step explanation:
On the left side of the equals sign, we have five x's and nine -1's.
On the right side of the equals sign, we have three -x's and twenty 1's.
Both sides are equal, so:
5(x) + 9(-1) = 3(-x) + 20(1)
5x − 9 = -3x + 20
Add 3x to both sides.
8x − 9 = 20
Add 9 to both sides.
8x = 29
Divide both sides by 8.
x = 29/8
