It has been a while since I had done these, but I believe you need to multiply all the measurements together
4x=112
x=112/4 ( '/' means divide)
x=28
Y = 0.95x + 7.95
26 = 0.95x + 7.95
Solve for x
26-7.95 =0.95x
18.05/0.95 = x
X = 19 songs
Hey there!
Let's break this expression into two parts:
6(3x-1) and -10x
To solve the first part, we need to use the distributive property which states:
a(b+c) = ab+ac
Applying that to this problem, we have:
6(3x) + 6(-1) =
18x - 6
Now, we can take that -10x and put it right back in:
18x - 6 - 10x
Combine like terms and subtract the 10x from the 18x to get:
8x - 6
Hope this helps!
Just try to follow my description. When two persons are in the cabin, there is only 1 handshake. When a third person comes, he will have to handshake the two people who came before him. So, there will be 2 handshakes. When a fourth person comes, he would make 3 handshakes with the 3 people who came before him. When the fifth person comes, he would make 4 handshakes with the 4 people who came before him. So, you see there is a pattern. The number of handshakes is 1 less than the total number of people inside the cabin. So, if there are 14 people in the cabin, the last person to come in would have to make 13 handshakes with the 13 people who came in first. Obtaining the sum of all the handshakes starting from the 2 handshakes initially to the 13 handshakes, the sum would be
Total handshakes = 2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13
Total handshakes = 90
Therefore, there will be a total of 90 handshakes made within the cabin of 14 people.
