"The product" means you're multiplying the two numbers.
"a number" refers to a variable.
"increased" means you're adding.
2x + 7 = -36
The 2nd option is the answer :)!
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
6x + 7 = 9x - 2
-3x = -9
x = 3
W=3L
W+W+L+L=72
Replace W with 3L: 3L+3L+L+L=72
8L=72
L=9
W=27
Answer:
1010
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a whole class of questions that rely on the method to this one.
First add up what you know
1270 + 1150 + 870 + 1450 = 4740
Now add on the 5th month (which you don't know. Call it x)
4740 + x
Divide by 5
(4740 + x)/5 = 1150 and that is your equation
Solution
Multiply both sides by 5
5*(4740 + x) / 5 = 1150 * 5
4740 + x = 5750
Subtract 4740 from both sides
4740 - 4740 + x = 5750 - 4740
x = 1010
Which seems kind of low, but that's what the numbers come to.
