Amy: x skirts
Betty: 2x skirts
Carol: (2x) + 7 skirts
If Amy has 18 less than Carol, than Carol's equation minus 18 equals Amy's equation:
[(2x) + 7] - 18 = x
+18 +18
(2x) + 7 = x + 18
- 7 -7
2x = x + 11
-x -x
x = 11
Input the solution for x into the girls equation to double check.
Amy: 11
Betty: 2(x)
2(11)
=22
Carol: (2x) + 7
22 + 7
=29
Does Amy have 18 less than Carol?
Carol - Amy = 18
29 - 11 = 18
18 = 18
the problem is solved
B because the 2 is in the hundredths place and then you look behind the 2 which is a 5.
If its five or more you go up and 4 or less you go down, which means that you add one to the 2 which is 3 and you get rid of anything behind the 3 that was the originally.
Answer: 262
Step-by-step explanation:
Get down the important info first:
m=7
n=17
Now replace the variables with the numbers. Your equation should be 17+35(7). First do the multiplication, 35x7, this will give you the answer 245. Now you add 17 to 245. You final answer should be 262.
