Add 12 to 16 on the other side to make 4x = 28. Then divide 28 by 4, which equals 7. Solution is x = 7
Answer:
a) 3x-5=16
b) 30cm
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 5(x-1)=2(x+8)
5x-5=2x+16
5x-2x-5=16
3x-5=16
b) solving the equation gives x=7
put x=7 into first line, 5(7-1)=30cm
to check we can place it into second one as well
2(7+8)=30cm
JK + KL = JL
JK = 2x, KL = x + 2, JL = 5x - 10
therefore we heve the equation:
2x + (x + 2) = 5x - 10
3x + 2 = 5x - 10 |-2
3x = 5x - 12 |-5x
-2x = -12 |:(-2)
x = 6
JK = 2x → JK = 2(6) = 12
KL = x + 2 → KL = 6 + 2 = 8
JL = 5x - 10 → JL = 5(6) - 10 = 30 - 10 = 20
Check:
JK + KL = JL
12 + 8 = 20 CORRECT :)
Answer: No, she does not have enough.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You have the following information given in the problem above:
- The measures of the three pieces are: 32 centimeters, 41.19 centimeters and 57.8 centimeters long.
- She need 200 centimeters of ribbon for the box.
2. Therefore, you must add the measures given in the problem to know if Marie has enough ribbon to decorate the gift box. Then:

3. As you can see:
130.99 cm<200 cm
Therefore, she does not have enough ribbon.
