Let's break this down:
Total Pictures = 77
Drew's Pictures = X (An unknown amount)
Danielle's Pictures = 17 + 2X (2 times the amount of Drew plus 17)

So, let's put the pieces together, the problem should look like this:
   Total Pictures = Drew's Pictures + Danielle's Pictures

So let's put in what we know:
   77 = X + (17 + 2X)

1st step is to get X to one side:
   77 = X + 17 + 2X
   -17       - 17
=> 60 = X + 2X
=> 60 = 3X

Now that X is on one side, the 2nd step is to get X to be alone:
   60/3 = 3X/3  (We have to divide to each side because the answer is equal)
   20 = X

So, now that we know what X equals, let's go back to what we broke down:
Drew's Pictures = X (An unknown amount)
Danielle's Pictures = 17 + 2X (2 times the amount of Drew plus 17)

*Remember that X = 20*
So the amount of Drew's Pictures (since the amount is equal to X) is 20.

Danielle had 17 + 2X pictures which means:
17 + 2(20)
17 + 40
57

So Danielle took 57 pictures

Today, 6 friends went out for lunch. Their total bill was $27.60, including tax and gratuity. They decided to split the bill equ
Paladinen [302]

Step-by-step explanation:

Right, okay, so this is a bit of a weird one. Let's go step by step.

"Today, 6 friends went out for lunch." = The number 6 is gonna be in our equation somewhere.

"Their total bill was $27.60" = so is the number 27.6

"They decided to split the bill equally" = 27.6 "split equally" (aka divided by) 6 friends is 4.6

"each paid with a $10 bill" = This is where it gets a lil weird. So, if they divided the bill among them, none of their amounts are gonna be anywhere near ten dollars. This is one of those questions that wouldn't really happen in real life. People would probably use fives instead, but whatever. So a number we'll be using for something is 10.

"How much money will each person get back?" = So we have to find the amount they all paid (10) minus the amount each one had to pay (4.6).

To put it all into a full equation...

10 - ( 27.6 / 6 )

Divide.

10 - 4.6

Subtract.

5.4

Put back into money form.

$5.40

Answer:

Each person will get back $5.40.
