A subtracted from b means b-a
7g+11 subtracted from 12 means 12-(7g+11)=12-1(7g+11)=12-7g-11=12-11-7g=1-7g
Answer:
a = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
2(a + 7) = 5a - 13
We want to bring a to one side, I will choose to bring it to the right
First, expand the bracket by multiplying 2 with a + 7
2a + 14 = 5a - 13
Bring the -13 to the left by adding 13 to both sides
2a + 14 + 13 = 5a - 13 + 13
Simplify
2a + 27 = 5a
Bring the 2a to the right by subtracting 2a from both sides
2a - 2a + 27 = 5a - 2a
Simplify
27 = 5a - 2a
27 = 3a
Bring the 3 to the left by dividing both sides by 3
27÷3 = a
Simplify
a = 9
Answer:
This is not an equation. It is an expression, you can't solve for x in an expression
let h be the number of hours then
A → C = 150h + 250 ( where C is charge )
B → C = 175h + 150
for 26 hours
A → C = (150 × 26 ) + 250 = 3900 + 250 = $4150
B → C = (175 × 26 ) + 150 = 4550 + 150 = $4700
Attorney A is cheaper for 26 hours, thus better deal
Equate the 2 equations to find hours they charge the same
175h + 150 = 150h + 250 ( subtract 150h from both sides )
25h + 150 = 250 ( subtract 150 from both sides )
25h = 100 ( divide both sides by 25 )
h = 4 ← number of hours when charges for both are equal
Thus Attorney A becomes a better deal at 5 hours
Since you add 4 each time in the x values and 1 for the y values, the answer should be 1/4
