Hello there!
5d = 17.1
The equation is asking you to find the value for "d". How to do that? Well, all you have to do is divide both side by 5.
5d/5 = 17.1
d = 3.42
That's your answer!
You can even double check your work, if you want to. How? Well, you just need to replace 3.42 where it belongs.
5(3.42) = 17.1
17.1 = 17.1
True!
Let me know if you have additional questions. As always, it is my pleasure to help students like you!
Twice a number increased by 5= 2x+5
5 decreased by twice a number= 5-2x
twice the difference of a number and 5= 2(x-5)
Twice the sum of a number and 5= 2(x+5)
Five subtracted from twice a number= 2x-5
Twice a number, less 5= 2x-5
Answer:
1.2(2.5)x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The simplest interpretation would go a little something like this:
We know that we want the total donation amount to be more than $7,900, so we can set up this inequality to begin with

Where
D is the total donations raised (in dollars). How do we find D? Well, we just add up the total number of table reservations sold and the total number of single tickets sold. If we let
r stand for the number of reservation tickets and
s stand for the number of single tickets, then we have

So, the inequality representing this situation would be

And that would probably be fine for this problem.

140 1/8 can not be expressed in radical form because it neither has an exponent or a square root. Unless if 140 is raised to the power of 1/8, then that can be.
