Answer:
A) Steve = Ryan +18
B) Steve + Ryan = 144
A) Steve -Ryan = 18 then adding B
B) Steve + Ryan = 162
2 Steve = 162
Steve weighs 81 pounds
Ryan weighs (81 -18) pounds 63 pounds

Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 want to go
If there are 30 people, we can find our answer pretty easily as 30 is 10 times more than 3.
2/3 = 20/30
So 20 people would like to go :O
Hope this helps, have a nice day :))
Answer:
Part A) x = -3
Part B) x = 1, x = -7
Part C) x < -7
Part D) 2
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Part A)</h3>
2(x - 3) = 3x - 3
<em>open the parenthesis</em>
2 * x - 2 * 3 = 3x - 3
2x - 6 = 3x - 3
<em>subtract 2x from both sides</em>
2x - 2x - 6 = 3x - 2x - 3
-6 = x - 3
<em>add 3 to both sides</em>
-6 + 3 = x
-3 = x
<h3>
Part B)</h3>
|2x + 6| = 8
<em>split this into two equations:</em>
<em>2x + 6 = 8</em>
<em>&</em>
<em>2x + 6 = -8</em>
2x + 6 = 8
2x = 8-6
2x = 2
x = 1
2x + 6 = -8
2x = -8 - 6
2x = -14
x = -7
<h3>Part C)</h3>
-5(x + 1) > 30
<em>open the parenthesis</em>
-5x - 5 > 30
<em>add 5 to both sides</em>
-5x > 35
<em>divide both sides by -5</em>
x > -7
<em>since you divided by a negative, flip the sign.</em>
x < -7
<h3>
Part D)</h3>
f(x) = 4x - 3
<em>substitute x for 5</em>
5 = 4x - 3
5 + 3 = 4x
8 = 4x
2 = x

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
-4p + 9 = -5
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>p</u></em>
- Subtract 9 on both sides: -4p = -14
- Divide -4 on both sides: p = 7/2
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in p into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>p</em>: -4(7/2) + 9 = -5
- Multiply: -14 + 9 = -5
- Add: -5 = -5
Here we see that -5 does indeed equal -5.
∴ p = 7/2 is the solution to the equation.
