Answer:
x = 18.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Gerald's answer is almost correct.
He just needs to switch the 14 and the x.
it should be
24/x = 18/14
solve for x by cross multiplication
18x = (24)(14)
18x = 336
x = 18.7
Answer:
what question baby girl
Step-by-step explanation:
-6+2
--------- =
10-10
-4
---- =
0
m=0
*(the "-----" are supposed to be fractions, sorry if that looks confusing)*
y+2=0(x-10)
y+2=0
-2 -2
y=-2
Your answer would be "y=-2."
A) Tonya bought 3 games at X price, so 3X would be total amount.
B) Tony's cost was 0.50 less than X, so x-0.50, he bought 4 games, so he spent 4(x-0.50).
C) Set those to equal to solve for x:
3x = 4(x-0.50)
D) Solve:
3x = 4(x-0.50)
Distribute:
3x = 4x - 2
Subtract 4x from both sides:
-X = -2
Multiply both sides by -1:
X = 2
E) Since X is the amount Tonya paid per game, Tony paid X - 0.50, so Tony paid 2 - 0.50 = $1.50 per game.
Check:
Tonya: 3x = 3(2) = $6 total
Tony: 4(x-0.50) = 4(2.00 - 0.50) = 4(1.50) = $6 total
