Mathematics

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x - 6) = 2(x + 3)

Distribute

5x - 30 = 2x + 6

Put like terms on each side by subtracting both sides by -2x and adding 30 on each side

3x = 36

Simplify

3x/3 = 36/3

x = 36/3

x = 12

Plug is back in to check

5(12) - 30 = 2(12) + 6

60 - 30 = 24 + 6

30 = 30

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x-6) = 2(x+3)

Distribute

5x-30 = 2x+6

Subtract 2x from each side

5x-2x -30 = 2x-2x+6

3x-30 =6

Add 30 to each side

3x-30+30 = 6+30

3x=36

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 36/3

x =12

The principal at valley elementary school had 840 stickers that he gave to 42 children. 2/3 of the children were boys and each o
STatiana [176]

Answer: each girl received 30 stickers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of stickers that the boys received.

Let y represent the number of stickers that the girls received.

The total number of children was 42. 2/3 of the children were boys. It means that the number of boys were

2/3 × 42 = 28

The number if girls would be

42 - 28 = 14

The total number of stickers that the school principal shared was 840. It means that

28x + 14y = 840- - - - - - - - -1

Each of the boys received the same number of stickers while each girl received twice as many as each boy. It means that

y = 2x

Substituting y = 2x into equation 1, it becomes

28x + 14 × 2x = 840

28x + 28x = 840

56x = 840

x = 840/56

x = 15

y = 2x = 15 × 2

y = 30
