Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
4 ( x - 7 ) = -6x + 12
→ Expand brackets
4x - 28 = -6x + 12
→ Add 6x to both sides
10x - 28 = 12
→ Add 28 to both sides
10x = 30
→ Divide both sides by 10
x = 3
8(p-2) = 32
8p - 16 = 32
+16 on each side
8p= 48
Divide by 8 on each side
P= 6
Answer:
Total amount Silas and Raja has at first = $252
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Amount Silas had = x
Amount Raja had = y
According to given statement;
x = 3y Eqn 1
x-84 = y+42 Eqn 2
Putting value of x from Eqn 1 in Eqn 2
3y - 84 = y+42
3y-y = 42+84
2y = 126
Dividing both sides by 2

Putting y = 63 in Eqn 1
x = 63(3)
x = 189
Total amount they had = 189 + 63 = $252
Hence,
Total amount Silas and Raja has at first = $252
