           <u>Today</u>          <u>2 years ago</u>

Chris:   x + 3            (x + 3) - 2   = x + 1

Nathan: 18               (18) - 2       = 16

Jacob:   x                (x) - 2          = x - 2

Chris + Nathan + Jacob = sum

x + 1  +     16     +   x - 2   = 59

                            2x - 15 = 59   <em>added like terms (x and x) and (1, 16, and -2)</em>

                                   2x = 74   <em>added 15 to both sides</em>

                                     x = 37    <em>divided both sides by 2</em>

Answer: Jacob is 37 yrs old

(36 3/4" + 36 3/8" + 371/2" +z) /4 = 36 5/8" 
This is the equation that you would get for the average. Now we just solve for z. 
Following PEMDAS you have to mulitply the equation by 4 to get rid of the divide by 4 part. 
4( (36 3/4" + 36 3/8" + 371/2" +z) /4 = 36 5/8)
Which does this
 36 3/4" + 36 3/8" + 371/2" +z = 146 1/2" 
Now you have to add and subtract to get "z" by itself. 
36 3/4" + 36 3/8" + 371/2" = 110 5/8" 
(110 5/8" + z = 146 1/2" ) -110 5/8"
z= 35 7/8", so the answer is b

a merchant is selling wind chimes from a booth at a flea market. he rents his space for $125 per day. the profit from each wind
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Rents his place for $125 per day and his goal has to be in 5 days. Lets use 125 times 5 days then each chime sold is $12 and we need the number of chimes sold so we use "x" as our variable. Equation 125(5) + 12x = 3500. Hope this helps.

10x+9=4x -9 solve <br><br> please help
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you need to isolate the variable x, this means only one side of the equation should have the variable x. To do this, you need to do the opposite operation from what's given (if it's addition, use subraction; if it's multiplication, use division; these work vise versa)

  • Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation. This gives you 10x = 4x - 18.
  • Subtract 4x from both sides of the equation. This gives you 6x = -18.
  • Divide both sides by 6. This gives you x = -3

The final answer is x = -3
