The second answer.
You have the first prize, x.
Then you have the second prize, which is x - 50.
Then you have the third prize, which is x - 50 -50, or x - 100.
So the total money is:
x + (x-50) + (x-100).
3(2a+1)=-5(a+6)
First expand the brackets.
6a+3=-5a-30
Now add 5a to both sides.
11a+3=-30
Then subtract 3 from both sides.
11a=-33
Finally divide both sides by 11.
a=- 33/11
=-3
You didn’t give the question
8-15= -7
x= -7
I think this is correct..
