If Mary spent half of her allowance the equation will begin with 1/2x or 0.5x where x is her allowance and 0.5 is half of her allowance spent. Mary also earned 7 dollars by washing the car so this will be added to her allowance spent.
The problem says that after Mary has spent half of her allowance at the movies she was left with 18 dollars so that means that the equation must be equal to 18.
The equation you want to set up is
0.5x+7=18
Where, 18-7=11
0.5x=11
11/.5 = x
x = $22
Thus, Mary has a weekly allowance of 22 dollars.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
200 ft above sea level
Step-by-step explanation:
500 - 300 = 200ft
Initial equation:
4a / 2 = 5.2
Multiply both sides by 2:
4a = 10.4
Divide both sides by 4:
a = 2.6
Hope this helps!! :)
Answer:
A. 432=18x
B. 22-see explanation
C. 24
D. See if your rounded answer and the actual answer are close.
Step-by-step explanation:
A. He buys a new phone for $432, and pays each month. We will use the variable x, and "x" will represent how many months he pays. It says that he pays $18 per month, so the equation would be 432=18x.
B. We need to isolate x, and to do this we have to divide 432 by 18. To approximate this answer, round 432 to 440 and 18 to 20. Now, divide 440 by 20. We get 22, so this will be the estimation.
C. Divide 432 by 18. We get 24.
E. You can see if it is reasonable if they are close in value.
