Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the value of x

By mathematical convention;

NM = NL + LM

Now, substitute individual values

3x + 13 = (6x-5) + (2x + 3)

3x + 13 = 6x-5 + 2x + 3

3x + 13 = 8x -2

Collect like terms

8x -3x = 13 + 2

5x = 15

x = 15/5

x = 3

tester [92]

Answer:

t = (A/sx) - r

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for t like this:

$A = s(t+r)x\\A = sx(t+r)\\\\\frac{A}{sx} = t+r\\\frac{A}{sx} - r = t\\t= \frac{A}{sx} - r$

Check the consistency of 2x-3y=7 and x-2y+1=0

Furkat [3]

Answer:

x = 17, y = 9

or as an ordered pair, (17, 9).

The equations are consistent.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 3y = 7

x - 2y = -1 Multiply this equation by -2:

-2x + 4y = 2 Add this to the first equation:

y = 9.

Plug y = 9 into the second equation:

x - 2*9 = -1

x = -1 + 18 = 17.

An art club is going to a museum. Six adults are going. 18 more kids than adults are going. Adults tickets cost $24 each, which

dybincka [34]

so their are 6 adults and 24 kids because when you add 18+6 and get 24

then you multiply 6(24) because adult tickets are 24 and get 144

then you multiply 24(12) because student tickets are half as much as parents so they are 12 and you multiply by 24 kids and get 288

then you add 288 student tickets total price +144 adult ticket total price =432 total cost fro all tickets
