Check the picture below.
notice, when dividing we have to put the dividend in descending order, now, the cubic, square and single terms are there, but they have a coefficient of 0, as you see in the picture in green, so we add those properly.
divide both sides by 7 to get x alone
84/7 = 12

Answer:
(a) Mrs. Johnson’s class sold 26 cookies, Mr. Smith’s class sold 27 popcorn.
(b) Mrs. Johnson’s class earned
Mr. Smith’s class earned
Hence, Mrs. Johnson’s class earned more.
(c) Mrs. Johnson’s class earned
more.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of cookies Mrs. Johnson’s class sold and y be the number of popcorn Mr. Smith’s class sold.
(a) If Mrs. Johnson’s class sold x cookies for $2.50 each, then they earn $2.50x. If Mr. Smith’s class sold y popcorn for $1.50 each, then they earn $1.50y. In total, $2.50x+$1.50y=$105.50.
Together, the classes sold 53 items, then x+y=53.
You get the system of two equations:

Solve it


(b) Mrs. Johnson’s class earned
Mr. Smith’s class earned
Hence, Mrs. Johnson’s class earned more.
(c) Mrs. Johnson’s class earned
more.
Answer:
Jake is 9, and Jake's dad is 43.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, let's start off by putting a variable for Jack's age, A.
We know that Jack's father is 2 less than 5 times, so we can write his as 5x -2.
Now let's make an equation:
52 = x + 5x - 2
We need to isolate the x-values so we need to add 2 on both sides:
54= x + 5x
No we need to add the like terms:
54 = 6x
Finally, we just divide by 6 on each side.
Now we know X = 9 but we're not done yet :)
So because Jake's dad is almost 5 times as much, we first multiply Jack's age by 5. We get 45 but we need to subtract 2 which leaves us with 43.
