Amy: x skirts
Betty: 2x skirts
Carol: (2x) + 7 skirts
If Amy has 18 less than Carol, than Carol's equation minus 18 equals Amy's equation:
[(2x) + 7] - 18 = x
+18 +18
(2x) + 7 = x + 18
- 7 -7
2x = x + 11
-x -x
x = 11
Input the solution for x into the girls equation to double check.
Amy: 11
Betty: 2(x)
2(11)
=22
Carol: (2x) + 7
22 + 7
=29
Does Amy have 18 less than Carol?
Carol - Amy = 18
29 - 11 = 18
18 = 18
the problem is solved
Answer - 288
Step-by-step explanation:
i use the formula V=a2 h/3
Answer: x=-17
Step-by-step explanation:
We first distribute the -12 across to the (x+5)
144=-12(x+5)
144=-12x-60
Then, we add 60 to both sides.
204 = -12x
Lastly, we divide the equation by -12.
204/-12 = -12x/-12
-17 = x
X*.70=250
X is the original price, x times .70, 70%, because it's 30% off, 250 should be the answer
