Mathematics
1 answer:
Daniel [21]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

2x + (x-5) = x - 17

2x + x - 5 = x - 17

3x - x = -17 + 5

2x = -12

: x = -12/2

x = -6

An office supply company sells two types of fax
Phantasy [73]

14 of the machine that cost $150 was sold and 8 of the machine that cost $225 was sold.

To solve this problem, we would write a system of linear equations.

  • Let x represent the machine that cost $150
  • Let y represent the machine that cost $225

We can proceed to write our equations now.

x + y = 22...equation(i)\\150x + 225y = 3900...equation(ii)

From equation 1

x+ y = 22\\x = 22 - y...equation (iii)

<h3>The Value of Y</h3>

put equation (iii) into (ii)

150x + 225y =3900\\x = 22-y\\150(22-y)+225y=3900\\3300-150y+225y=3900\\3300+75y=3900\\75y=3900-3300\\75y=600\\75y/75=600/75\\y=8

<h3>The Value of X</h3>

Since we know the number of y, we can simply substitute it into equation (i) and solve.

x + y = 22\\x + 8 = 22\\x = 22-8\\x = 14

From the calculations above, 14 of the machine that cost $150 was sold and 8 of the machine that cost $255 was sold.

What is the result if 3x-9 is evaluated when x = -5?​
Anton [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I wonder if it is the minus that is causing the problem?

Let x = - 5

3*(-5) - 9

-15 - 9

This is a money question. If you are 15 dollars in debt and you spend another 9, where are you? (In the company of the American government. They do this all the time).

- 15 - 9 = - 24
