Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we just have to the multiplication and do the simplification (adding up the similar terms) afterwards:
3(x+1)=7(x-2)-3 becomes...
3x + 3 = 7x - 14 - 3
3x + 3 = 7x -17
Then we move all x's on one side and all plain numbers on the other side, we'll move the x's to the right since there's a bigger value there, and will move the plain numbers on the left side, by subtracting 3x and by adding 17 on both sides
3x + 3 - 3x + 17 = 7x -17 + 17 - 3x
20 = 4x
If we isolate x alone we have:
20/4 = x or x = 5
The initial value is 3 (when x=0), and the multiplier is 2, when x=2. The equation can be written as
.. y = 3*(2^(x/2))
Answer:
Each hot dog = $3
Each french fry = $2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, lets define our variables:
x = Hotdog
y = fries
Next, you need to set up a cost equation for both Toby and Bernie:
8x + 5y = 34
2x + 6y = 18
Now, we need to isolate one of the variable:
2x + 6y = 18
2x = 18 - 6y
x = 9 - 3y
Next, we need to insert this equation back into the first equation (8x+5y = 34) to find the cost of y (fries):
8x +5y = 34
8 (9-3y) + 5y = 34
72 - 24y + 5y = 34
72 - 19y = 34
19y = 38
y or fries = $2
Finally, we need to find the cost of each hotdog by using the cost of fries ($2) in one of the formulas:
2x + 6y = 18
2x + 6(2) = 18
2x + 12 = 18
2x = 6
x or hotdog = $3
I hope this helps!

The classes could each have proportions of 5 boys to 6 girls, but they don’t necessarily have to be exactly 5 to 6. The number could 5 to 6 for one class, but it could also be 10 to 12 for another class, since 10 to 12 is a scale factor of 5 to 6.
I think the answer would be 2.05 because 6.15/3 is 2.05
