51(x - 21) = x + 58

Distributive property

51x - 1071 = x + 58

Subtract x from both sides

50x - 1071 = 58

Add 1071 to both sides

50x = 1129

Divide both sides by 50

x = 22.58

Mr.Johnson imported some cartons of noodles.There were 28 packages of in each carton.he then sold 10 of noodles for $5 if he rec

iragen [17]

Answer:

The total number of cartons did he sale is 20 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total number package in each carton = 28

The total amount received after sale = $ 280

The cost of 10 noodles = $ 5

Let the total number of cartoon sale = x

According to question

∵ The number of noodles costing $5 is 10

so,The number of noodles costing $1 is $\frac{10}{5}$ = 2

∴ The number of noodles costing $280 = 2 × 280 = 560

Now, since there are 28 packages in 1 carton

So . the number of carton did he sale = $\dfrac{\textrm total number of noodles}{\textrm total package in each cartoon}$

Or, The number of carton did he sale = $\frac{560}{28}$ = 20

Hence The total number of cartons did he sale is 20 . Answer

What 3 consecutive integers equal 84

Murrr4er [49]

First represent your 3 consecutive integers as follows.

X ⇒ first integer

X + 1 ⇒ second integer

X + 2 ⇒ third integer

Since their sum is 84, our equation reads x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 84.

Simplifying on the left side we get 3x + 3 = 84.

Now subtract 3 from both sides to get 3x = 81.

Dividing both sides by 3, we find that x = 27.

Finally, make sure you list all your answers.

If x is 27 then x + 1 is 28 and x + 2 is 29.
