Answer: x = 4

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this equation, we can first combine our like terms on the left side of the equation which are the x's.

10x - 7x = 3x so we now have the equation 3x = 12.

Now to solve for <em>x</em>, we want to get <em>x</em> by itself on the left side of the equation. Since <em>x</em> is being multiplied by 3, to get <em>x</em> by itself, we need to divide by 3 on the left side of the equation. Since we divided by 3 on the left side, we must also divide by 3 on the right side.

On the left side, notice that the 4's cancel out so we're simply left with <em>x</em>. On the right side we have 12 divided by 3 which is 4 so x = 4.

Finally, remember to check your answer by substituting a 4 back into the original equation.

So we have 10(4) - 7(4) = 12 or 40 - 28 = 12 or 12 = 12.

Since this a true statement, we know our answer is correct.

Nadia makes a monthly income of $4,000. How much will Nadia have for impulse shopping after she pays all of her bills for the mo
Llana [10]
You add all the percentages up and it will give you 64. take 64 and put it over 100 because percentages as a fraction will always be the amount over a 100.  
so its 64/100 multiply by 4000/1. 64*4000= 256000 over 100. 256000 divided by 100 = 2560
