5x-23=87
add 23 to both sides
5x=110
divide both sides by 5
x=22
To check your answer...
5(22)-23=87
110-23=87
87=87
Answer:
asking 10 students wearing football jerseys each day for a week
Step-by-step explanation:
if students come to school wearing a football jersey then more than likely their favorite sport is football which means that your results will not be as accurate as the others.
Answer:
$25
Step-by-step explanation:
500 mins = $35 (fixed + per minute charge)
1500 mins = $55 (fixed + per minute charge)
If we let per minute charge be "m"
and
let fixed charge be "f"
we can write 2 equations as:
35 = 500m + f
and
55 = 1500m + f
Now,
We re-write both equations in terms of f and equate both expressions:
f = 35 - 500m
and
f = 55 - 1500m
Equating:
35 - 500m = 55 - 1500m
-500m + 1500m = 55 - 35
1000m = 20
m = 20/1000
m = 0.02
Now we find f, what we are looking for:
f = 35 - 500m
f = 35 - 500(0.02)
f = 25
So, the fixed charge is $25
