Answer:
Simplifying
x = -25
Step-by-step explanation:
Reorder the terms:
10x + -6(5 + 2x) = 20
10x + (5 * -6 + 2x * -6) = 20
10x + (-30 + -12x) = 20
Reorder the terms:
-30 + 10x + -12x = 20
Combine like terms: 10x + -12x = -2x
-30 + -2x = 20
Solving
-30 + -2x = 20
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '30' to each side of the equation.
-30 + 30 + -2x = 20 + 30
Combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0
0 + -2x = 20 + 30
-2x = 20 + 30
Combine like terms: 20 + 30 = 50
-2x = 50
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = -25
Answer:b
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the slope. 4+1/3-2 = 5/1 or 5. Plug in your points to find b. 4=5(3)+b. 4=15+b. b=-11. SO the equation is y=5x-11.
80+10x is the expression. To find the cost for 9 guests, simply plug in 9 for x. This becomes an equation reading 80+10(9)=170. The total cost for 9 guests is $170.00.
