Answer:

x = 3

x = (-1)/2

x = 13/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(2 x)/3 + 15 = 17

Put each term in (2 x)/3 + 15 over the common denominator 3: (2 x)/3 + 15 = (2 x)/3 + 45/3:

(2 x)/3 + 45/3 = 17

(2 x)/3 + 45/3 = (2 x + 45)/3:

1/3 (2 x + 45) = 17

Multiply both sides of (2 x + 45)/3 = 17 by 3:

(3 (2 x + 45))/3 = 3×17

(3 (2 x + 45))/3 = 3/3×(2 x + 45) = 2 x + 45:

2 x + 45 = 3×17

3×17 = 51:

2 x + 45 = 51

Subtract 45 from both sides:

2 x + (45 - 45) = 51 - 45

45 - 45 = 0:

2 x = 51 - 45

51 - 45 = 6:

2 x = 6

Divide both sides of 2 x = 6 by 2:

(2 x)/2 = 6/2

2/2 = 1:

x = 6/2

The gcd of 6 and 2 is 2, so 6/2 = (2×3)/(2×1) = 2/2×3 = 3:

Answer:  x = 3

______________________________________________________

Solve for x:

3 x - x + 8 = 7

Grouping like terms, 3 x - x + 8 = (3 x - x) + 8:

(3 x - x) + 8 = 7

3 x - x = 2 x:

2 x + 8 = 7

Subtract 8 from both sides:

2 x + (8 - 8) = 7 - 8

8 - 8 = 0:

2 x = 7 - 8

7 - 8 = -1:

2 x = -1

Divide both sides of 2 x = -1 by 2:

(2 x)/2 = (-1)/2

2/2 = 1:

Answer: x = (-1)/2

_______________________________________

Solve for x:

4 (2 x - 6) = 2

Divide both sides of 4 (2 x - 6) = 2 by 4:

(4 (2 x - 6))/4 = 2/4

4/4 = 1:

2 x - 6 = 2/4

The gcd of 2 and 4 is 2, so 2/4 = (2×1)/(2×2) = 2/2×1/2 = 1/2:

2 x - 6 = 1/2

Add 6 to both sides:

2 x + (6 - 6) = 1/2 + 6

6 - 6 = 0:

2 x = 1/2 + 6

Put 1/2 + 6 over the common denominator 2. 1/2 + 6 = 1/2 + (2×6)/2:

2 x = 1/2 + (2×6)/2

2×6 = 12:

2 x = 1/2 + 12/2

1/2 + 12/2 = (1 + 12)/2:

2 x = (1 + 12)/2

1 + 12 = 13:

2 x = 13/2

Divide both sides by 2:

x = (13/2)/2

2×2 = 4:

Answer: x = 13/4

Adam is going to cook a turkey for 14 people and wants to allow ¾ lb of turkey for each person.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
I did (450*3/4=337.5) to get how much each person would eat, then I did (337.5*14=4725g) to see how big the turkey should be. I then converted grams to kilos (4725*0.001=4.725 kg), and I got how big the turkey would be. It turns out the appropriate size of the turkey would be medium, so then what I did was that I looked for the medium price of the turkey per kg, and found that it was £5.99 per kg. I did (4.725*5.99) and I got about £28.30. It would cost £28.30 for 14 people.

The price of a new car is $42,500. If the sales tax rate is 6%, what is the total cost for the car including tax?
ozzi

Answer: $45,050

Step-by-step explanation:

First we multipy 0.06 (6%) by 42,500

$42,500 * 0.06 = $2550

This is the tax that must be applied to $42,500

Now all we need to do is add $2,550to $42,500 and we get:

$42,500 + $2,550 = $45,050
