Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
first, we would set up an equation. let 3x-4 represent "four less than a number tripled". "a number" would be represented by x. let x+10 represent "the same number increased by 10".
set 3x-4 and x+10 equal to each other:
3x-4=x+10
next, we would solve this equation for x. first we would get the x together on one side of the equation. we would do this by subtracting x from both sides to remove it from the right side of the equation:
2x-4=10
then, we would get the 2x by itself. we would do this by adding 4 to both sides:
2x=14
finally, we would divide each side of the equation by 2 to find x:
x=7.
The number is 7.
The correct answer should be y=4x + 1d where x equals the number of personal pizzas, and d equals the number of drinks.
She didn't account for the number of drinks ordered for more than one meal.
Answer:
x=0.25 or -1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
120x + 21 = -9
120x = -30 (-21 from both sides of equation)
x = -0.25 or -1/4 (divide 120 from both sides of equation)
