Let x be how many hot dogs person b ate

therefore, person a ate x+8 hotdogs
and person c ate x-10 hotdogs

they all ate 130 hotdogs in total so
x + x + 8 + x - 10 = 130
3x -2 = 130
3x = 132
x = 44

so person b ate 44 hotdogs
person a ate 8 more so 52 hotdogs
and person c ate 10 less than person b so 34 hotdogs

2(3x+6) = 3(2x-6) <br> solve equations with variables on both sides
Serjik [45]
Answer:

2(3x+6) = 6x+12
3(2x-6) = 6x-18

6x+12=6x-18

Subtract 12 from 18, which gives you:

6x=6x-6

Subtract the 6x on the opposite side of the equal side, and your answer is: x = -6
