Number of books each of them have:

Jaime: x
Grant: x - 6
Ky: 3 (x - 6)

There are 176 books in total, so we can write it down as:

176 = x + x - 6 + 3 (x - 6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 * x + 3 * (-6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 2x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 5x - 24                        / + 24 (both sides)
5x = 200                              / ÷ 5 (both sides)
x = 40

Doublecheck:

Jamie: 40
Grant: 40 - 6 = 34
Ky: 3 (40 - 6) = 3 * 34 = 102

102 + 34 + 40 = 176, so it's correct :)

A number is multiplied by 20, and that product is added to 5. The sum is equal to the product of 5 and 13.
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you will pick the first equation :

(x*20)

Then the next,

(x*20) + 5

Then the last equation,

(x*20) + 5 = 5*13

Then you solve

20x + 5 = 65

20x = 65 - 5

20x = 60

20x/20 = 60/20

x = 3

What is the solution? 2/3(x-7)= -2
koban [17]

Answer:

x =4

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3(x-7)= -2

Multiply each side by 3/2 to clear the fractions

3/2 * 2/3(x-7)= -2 *3/2

x-7 = -3

Add 7 to each side

x-7+7 = -3+7

x =4
