Then he should sell all of them for 3 dollars and he'll get $450 dollars from all 150 t-shirts
Let x + 1.5 be length of segment above left hand
Let 2x be length of segment below left hand
15 = x + 1.5 + 2x
15 = 3x + 1.5
15 - 1.5 = 3x
13.5 = 3x
13.5/3= 3x/3
4.5 = x
x = 4.5
This is the length above the left hand.
2x must be then 4.5*2 = 9 foot
This is the length below the left hand.
Checking
4.5 + 9 + 1.5 = 15 foot
Adding length below left hand & length of left hand to right hand:
9 + 1.5 = 10.5
The right hand is hence 10.5 foot far up the pole.
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
If x + 5 = 10, then x would have to be 5 because 5 + 5 = 10.
The way you would solve this would be:
x + 5 = 10
subtract 5 from both sides of the equation
x + 5 - 5 = 10 - 5
simplify:
x = 5
