Answer:
A. 228.5
B. 10
Step-by-step explanation:
A. Since <em>x</em> represents the number of months, replace <em>x</em> with 6 in the equation. Then multiply 29x6, which equals 174. Then add 174+54.5, which equals 228.5.
B. You need to solve for <em>x</em> by switching the signs in the equation<em>. </em>Set the original equation (29x+54.5) equal to 344.50. To solve for <em>x, </em>first subtract 344.50-54.5, which equals 290 (you subtract because it's the opposite of adding). Then divide 290÷29, which equals 10. You can check your work by replacing <em>x</em> in the original equation with 10, and if you get 344.5, your answer is correct.
Good luck :)
I’m extremely sorry, I am stumped
