X=23 First, you have to subtract 12 by 12 to cancel it out. Next, you have to do the same thing to 20.05. 20.05 minus 12 is 8.05. All you have left is .35x. To get rid of the this you have to divide .35x by .35. Now all you have left is x. Finally you have to do the same thing to 8.05. 8.05 divided by .35 is 23. So, x=23
To solve this problem, you can make a proportion:
3/900 = x/2100
In this case, the x represents the pounds that will be needed to cover 2,100 feet.
The first step is to cross multiply like this:
3 * 2100 = 900 * x
Now you can simply the equation.
6300 = 900x
Now you divide both sides by 900 to cancel it out.
7 = x
So, your answer is 7 pounds.
2(6y - 5) - 3y = 2
12y - 10 - 3y = 2
9y - 10 = 2
9y = 12
y = 4/3, or 1 1/3
2x - 3(4/3) = 2
2x - 12/3 = 2
2x - 4 = 2
2x = 6
x = 3
Answer:
3. 9n + 6 = 78

Let the number of adults be n. Each adult ticket costs $9, so the cost of n adult tickets is 9n. There is only one child, and a child's ticket is $6, so the cost of the child's ticket is 6. Adding the costs, you get 9n + 6. The total cost is $78, but the expression representing the total cost is 9n + 6, so 9n + 6 must equal 78. That is the equation.
9n + 6 = 78
