Based on the equation given, it can be deduced that the value of the number will be 36.
Let the number be represented by x
Therefore, seven less than one-fourth of a number will be:
=(1/4 × x) - 7
= 0.25x - 7
Now, seven less than one-fourth of a number is 2 will be written as:
0.25x - 7 = 2
0.25x = 2 + 7
0.25x = 9
x = 9/0.25
x = 36

First, let’s all acknowledge that whoever comes up with problems like this WANTS kids to hate math...smh
I’m sure there is a prettier way to solve this, but here’s what I did:
8(2.25) + 3(22.50) =
18 + 67.50 = 85.50 per “set” of balls/jerseys
400/85.50 = 4.678 = number of “sets” he can buy. Round down to 4 so we have room for tax.
85.5 x 4 “sets”= $342
Tax on 342 is 0.06 x 342 = 20.52
$342 + 20.52 = $362.52 spent
Basketballs = 4 sets x 8 balls per set= 32
Jerseys = 4 sets x 3 jerseys per set= 12
32 basketballs, 12 jerseys, $362.52 spent
Answer:
x=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross multiply to get:
3x=4(x+1)
3x=4(x+1)
3x=4x+4
x=-4
Answer: 80 miles
Work: I just did 40 times 2 because they completed half their trip, and they need to complete 40 more miles.
