Answer:
6x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
First thing to do is distribute 1/4 into the parenthesis. So 1/4 times 8x and 16. Which will give you 2x and 4. Then add like terms which will be 2x + 4x which is 6x. Then you have the 4 left over so your new equation is 6x+4.
Answer:
$66
Step-by-step explanation:
It can be convenient to assign a different variable to the amount of money each spent. We can call the amounts spent by Seedevi, Georgia, and Amy "s", "g", and "a", respectively.
The problem statement tells us ...
s = (1/2)g
s = a +6
s + g + a = 258
__
The problem statement asks for the amount Seedevi spent, so we need to find the value of s. It is convenient to write the other variables in terms of s:
g = 2s
a = s -6
Then the sum is ...
s + (2s) +(s -6) = 258
4s = 264 . . . . . . . . . . . add 6, simplify
s = 66 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 4
Seedevi spent $66.
132, if you add four to 50, and keep going until you get to 20
