Answer:
The answer is X = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
2x/3 - 7 = 5
Multiply both sides if the equation by 3 : 2x - 21 = 15
Move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign : 2x = 15 + 21
Calculate 2x = 15 + 21
2x = 36
Divide both sides of the eqaution by 2 : 2x = 36
x = 18
Answer X = 18
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
113-17= 96
96/6= 16
The three items cost altogether is : 111.32 + 28.75 + 73.21 = 213.28
So, he must work 213.28 : 8.75 = 24.3748571429...
Since if he works 24 hours, he wouldn't have enough money to buy the 3 items, so he must work 24 + 1 = 25 hours.
Recheck : 25 x 8.75 = 218.75 ( > 213.28)
