(n+20)*2 = 99.2
distribute
2n + 40 = 99.2
subtract 40 from each side
2n = 59.2
divide each side by 2
n = 29.6
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
3(3 - 8x) - 1 = -6x - 28
Distribute
9 -24x -1 = -6x -28
Combine like terms
8 -24x = -6x -28
Add 24x to each side
8-24x+24x = -6x-28+24x
8 = 18x-28
Add 28 to each side
8+28 = 18x-28+28
36 = 18x
Divide each side by 18
36/18 = 18x/18
2 =x
Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
x=24
Answer:
B. 5 + 2p
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Let's simplify the problem:</u>
Joe has 5 + more than 2(P) as many calculators as John.
*We'll be using Addition and Multiplication operations.
If Joe has 5 more than 2 times the amount of calculators, the algebraic expression will be:

p represents John's amount of calculators.
5 + (5 more than) 2(P) Twice the amount of calculators John has.
