Substitute 3x+1 for x. Then solve from there
Basically, this problem is going to require you to solve for the area and multiply it with the given cost unit.
Area = Length*Height
Area = 100 ft * 8 ft = 800 ft²
Total Cost = (Unit Cost)(Area)
Total Cost = ($2/ft²)(800 ft²)
<em>Total Cost = $1,600</em>
The answer is 60 but im going to explain it down below if you want to know how to do it :)
first because we dont know the values of the 6 numbers we have to lay it out like this.
x
x+2
x+4
x+6
x+8
x+10
-------- (then we add it together)
6x+30 = 390 (the sum of the 6 numbers)
using this equation we find out what x is
so we do 390-30 to find what 6x is, which is 360
because now we know that 6x=360, we divide 360 by 6 to find out what x is
360 divided by 6 =60..... x = 60
so now we know that the smallest integer is 60
to check the answer we could add the 6 numbers which are:
60+62+64+66+68+70=390 :)
so the smallest integer is 60
B the person above me is right
This is the steps for equation solving for the value of x,
x/3-7 = 11
now 7 goes to the other side of equation by changing the sign from - to +,
x/3 = 11 + 7
x/3 = 18
now when we multiply both sides of equation with 3 or 3 goes to the other side of equation and multiply with 18 leaving x alone here for finding the value of x,
and we get, x = 54
at the end of equation we get x = 54, if the equation was in the form 3x - 7 = 11, then we will get x = 6
