Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = the number of phone available

If it would require 8 more phones, then the total number of phones will be x + 8.

A company hired an additional 12 employees, and every employee needed a phone, then

x + 8 = 12

x = 4

This means 4 phones were available (and 8 more needed to total in 12 phones for 12 new employees)

Hence, correct option is option A.

-2(3x+9)=-54 AND 2(3x+4) -3x=35 SHOW WORK PLEASE

Naily [24]

Answer:

1. x=6

2. x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

$-2(3x+9)=-54\\-6x-18=-54\\+18 +18\\-6x=-36\\\frac{-6x}{-6} = \frac{-36}{-6}\\x=6$

$2(3x+4)-3x=35\\6x+8-3x=35\\3x+8=35\\-8 -8\\3x=27\\\frac{3x}{3} =\frac{27}{3} \\x=9$

Written Explanation:

-2x(3x+9)=-54

-6x-`8=54 (Distributive property)

Add 18 to both sides

-6x=-36

Divide both sides by -6 (negative divided by a negative equals a positive)

x=6

2(3x+4)-3x=35

6x+8-3x=35 (distributive property)

3x+8=35 (combine Iike terms and then subtract them 6x-3x=3x)

Subtract 8 from both sides

3x=27

Divide both sides by 3

x=9

Ms. Pacheco, Mr Edwards, and Mr Richards are three math teachers at turner middle school. Ms. Pacheco is three years older than

zubka84 [21]

Mr edwards = Mr r x 2
Mr r = Mr p - 3 = Mr e ÷ 2. Mr p = 30
Mr e + Mr r = 81. Mr e = 54
Mr p = Mr r + 3. Mr r = 27

Mr Edwards = 2(Mr p - 3)
Mr e = 2(mr p) - 6

Mr r = [2(Mr p) -6] ÷ 2
Mr r = [2( Mr r + 3) - 6] ÷ 2

2(Mr r) + (Mr p - 3) = 81
2(Mr p -3) + (Mr p - 3) = 81
3(Mr p - 3) = 81
3(Mr p) - 9 = 81. Hope this helps!!!
3(Mr p) + 9 = 81 + 9
3(Mr p) = 90
Mr p = 90 ÷ 3
Mr p = 30
