6(4x + 2) = 3(8x + 4)
Reorder the terms:
6(2 + 4x) = 3(8x + 4)
(2 * 6 + 4x * 6) = 3(8x + 4)
(12 + 24x) = 3(8x + 4)
Reorder the terms:
12 + 24x = 3(4 + 8x)
12 + 24x = (4 * 3 + 8x * 3)
12 + 24x = (12 + 24x)
Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + -12 + 24x = 12 + -12 + 24x
Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + 24x = 12 + -12 + 24x
24x = 12 + -12 + 24x
Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
24x = 0 + 24x
24x = 24x
Add '-24x' to each side of the equation.
24x + -24x = 24x + -24x
Combine like terms: 24x + -24x = 0
0 = 24x + -24x
Combine like terms: 24x + -24x = 0
0 = 0
Solving
0 = 0
4 hours because noon is 12. 8-12 is 4
Answer:
£0.50
Step-by-step explanation:
t = one cup of tea
c = one piece of cake
t + c = £1.10
2t + c = £1.70
the cost increases by £0.60 (£1.70 - £1.10) when you order one more cup of tea which means that one cup of tea costs £0.60
substitute £0.60 into t + c = £1.10
£0.60 + c = £1.10
rearrange to get c = £1.10 - £0.60 = £0.50
so one piece of cake costs £0.50
