Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>
17 - (3x + 5) = 3x - 6
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute negative: 17 - 3x - 5 = 3x - 6
- Add 3x on both sides: 17 - 5 = 6x - 6
- Combine like terms: 12 = 6x - 6
- Isolate <em>x</em> term: 18 = 6x
- Isolate <em>x</em>: 3 = x
- Rewrite: x = 3
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 17 - (3(3) + 5) = 3(3) - 6
- Multiply: 17 - (9 + 5) = 9 - 6
- Add: 17 - 14 = 9 - 6
- Subtract: 3 = 3
Here we see that 3 does indeed equal 3.
∴ x = 3 is the solution to the equation.
Answer:
816 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
13(16+20+12) + 16(12) = 816
Answer:
2 step equation problems.
Step-by-step explanation:
So you need to replace -3 into that to add -18 on both sides and that gives you the negative number is -20 and then you add the -5r+-3r less than or equal to -20. Now, negative -5 +3 = -8 + -20 = -28. r=-28.
Answer:
Carolyn's mistake was confusing the selling price of the necklaces with the profit.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x-------> the selling price of each necklace
we know that
The linear equation that represent the situation is equal to
solve for x
The profit on each necklace is equal to
therefore
Carolyn's mistake was confusing the selling price of the necklaces with the profit.
