3/6 = 6/x+3
3x + 9 = 36
3x = 27
x = 9
To solve this, you must follow PEMDAS. First, solve the parenthesis. Because a negative times a positive equals a negative, the product of the fractions is -1/6. Then multiply that by 12. That equals -12/6. This can be simplified down to -2.

A.
s=number of strawberry wafers
c=number of chocolate wafers
3s+1c=30
s+c=22
B.
multiply 2nd equation by -1 to do elimination
add to the first equation
3s+1c=30
<u>-s-c=-22 +</u>
2s+0c=8
2s=8
divide by 2
s=4
sub back
s+c=22
4+c=22
c=18
I used elimiation because it seemed right for this one
I can also do subsitution
3s+1c=30
s+c=22
minus s both sides in 2nd equation
c=22-s
sub for c in other equation
3s+22-s=30
2s+22=30
minus 22 both sides
2s=8
divide by 2
s=4
and now
c=22-s
c=22-4
c=18
substiotion because it's easier for some people to see
18 chocolate
4 strawberry
10% off means the jeans will sell for 90% of the original price ( 100% - 10% = 90%)
Multiply the original price by 90%
65.00 x 0.90 = 58.50
He will pay $58.50
