Sorry, but I can only see the algebra way

in the morning, he sold 24 plus 2/7 of what he had left
what he had left was all-24

2/7 of left was sold
5/7of the ones left=1/2 of all
2/7 of left+24=1/2 of all
therefor
5/7 of the ones left=2/7 of the ones left+24
minus 2/7 of left fro mboth sides
3/7 of the ones left=24
divide both sides by 3
1/7 of the ones left=8
times 7 both sides
ones left=56

left+24=1/2 of all
56+24=1/2 of all
80=1/2 of all
times 2
160=all

he had 160 to start with

  • Division Property of Equality
  • Addition Property of Equality
  • Subtraction Property of Equality<u> </u>

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Terms/Coefficients

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

8x - (2x - 13) = 42

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. [Distributive Property] Distribute negative:                                                     8x - 2x + 13 = 42
  2. [Subtraction] Combine like terms:                                                                    6x + 13 = 42
  3. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 13 on both sides:                        6x = 29
  4. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 6 on both sides:                                 x = 29/6

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                                                                                                  8(29/6) - [2(29/6) - 13] = 42
  2. Multiply:                                                                                                             116/3 - [29/3 - 13] = 42
  3. [Brackets] Subtract:                                                                                           116/3 - -10/3 = 42
  4. Subtract:                                                                                                            42 = 42

Here we see 42 does indeed equal 42.

∴ x = 29/6 is the solution.
