Answer:
The answer is 1 and 1/12 you can’t simplify the problem but this is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
60 min in one hour so 60+60+30=150.
150 divided 50 mins = 3 days (50+50+50=150)
You would need to know the cost of the box of 20, then you would divide the total cost by the number of pencils in the box. This would give you the cost of one pencil - which is the unit cost.
Example:
Lets say the box of 20 pencils cost $10.
Divide the total cost by the number of pencils:
10 / 20 = 0.50 - This means each pencil cost 50 cents, so the unit cost would be 50 cents per pencil.
Okay so you need to start off by using the distributive property, meaning you are going to multiply -2 by both items within the parentheses. this gives you -2x + 10 = -14. from here you want to isolate x, so you’ll subtract both sides by 10 to move it to the other side. this gives you -2x=-24. then you’ll divide both sides by -2 to completely isolate x. this gives you x=12. does that make sense?
