Find
Express 37 as 40 - 3
So, we have:
Compare to
Substitute 40 for x and 3 for y in
Evaluate all exponents
Evaluate all products
Hence:
2x+8x=30. x= #of pens
10x=30. combine like terms
x=3. divide by 10 to isolate (get by itself) x
2(3)=6. the # of white pens are represented by 2x
6 white pens
hope this helped!
Answer:
x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:
Parenthesis
Exponents (&Roots)
Multiplications
Divisions
Additions
Subtractions

First, add 6 to both sides of the equation:
-5x - 6 = 29
-5x - 6 (+6) = 29 (+6)
-5x = 29 + 6
-5x = 35
Next, divide -5 from both sides of the equation:
(-5x)/-5 = (35)/-5
x = 35/-5
x = -7
-7 is your answer for x.
