Mathematics

Archy [21]4 years ago

Simplifying

3(x + -5) + -4 = 17

Reorder the terms:

3(-5 + x) + -4 = 17

(-5 * 3 + x * 3) + -4 = 17

(-15 + 3x) + -4 = 17

Reorder the terms:

-15 + -4 + 3x = 17

Combine like terms: -15 + -4 = -19

-19 + 3x = 17

Solving

-19 + 3x = 17

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '19' to each side of the equation.

-19 + 19 + 3x = 17 + 19

Combine like terms: -19 + 19 = 0

0 + 3x = 17 + 19

3x = 17 + 19

Combine like terms: 17 + 19 = 36

3x = 36

Divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

Simplifying

x = 12

Every year a man is paid $500 more than the previous year. If he receives $17800 over four years, what was he paid in the first
Len [333]

The amount paid to the man in the first year given the total he received in four years is $3,700.

<h3>Equation</h3>

  • Amount paid in the first year = x
  • Amount paid in the second year = (x + 500)
  • Amount paid in the third year = x + 500 + 500

= (x + 1000)

  • Amount paid in the fourth year = x + 500 + 500 + 500

= (x + 1500)

  • Total payment = $17800

Total payment = first year + second year + third year + fourth year

x + (x + 500) + (x + 1000) + (x + 1500) = 17,800

  • open parenthesis

x + x + 500 + x + 1000 + x + 1500 = 17800

  • collect like terms

4x + 3000 = 17,800

4x = 17,800 - 3000

4x = 14,800

  • divide both sides by 4

x = 14,800/4

x = $3,700

Therefore, $3,700 was paid to the man in the first year.
