Solve any algebraic expression by getting the x on one side (usually the left-hand side) and everything else and the opposite side (usually the right-hand side).

We do this by using the inverse operation of what is being done to the variable. If something is adding to the variable, say like an expression like x + 10, then we use subtraction to get rid of the addition and vice versa.

Similar to multiplication, we use division to cancel out the multiplication and vice versa.

If there are any like terms, we combine them. I will assume that you know how to combine like terms, but in short, to combine like terms, add the coefficients together and use the common variables and power. If there is no coefficient, then a 1 is implied. Similarly, if no explicit power is shown, then a 1 is implied.

-6x - 2x = 40
-8x        = 40

-6x and -2x are like terms because they have the same variable and are to the same power.

-6x + (-2)x
(-6 - 2)x
-8x

Now we have the expression -8x = 40. Now we can use division to get rid of the -8 juxtaposed to the variable x.

-8x = 40
-8x / 8 = 40 / -8
x = -5

-6x-2x= 40
-8x=40
X= 40/-8
X= -5

11. Shrimp are often found in tropical climates and can be raised on farms or caught in the wild.
seropon [69]

Answer:

3/83

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability: the ways to get the desired result / all of the possible results.

To solve, plug in the values they give.

There are 6 packages of wild-caught shrimp from Honduras. (The desired result)

Now, to find all of the possible results, add the total number of packages together.

27 + 40 + 52 + 13 + 6 + 28 = 166

6/166 = 3/83

Thus, the answer is a 3/83 chance of getting a package of wild-caught shrimp came from Honduras.

Christine is putting money into a savings account. She starts with $650 in the savings account, and each week she adds $60. Let
TEA [102]

Total amount of money in the savings account after 11 weeks is $1310.

Total money in the account =

 Initial Money + Money added per week x Number of weeks

Given:

Initial Money = $650

Money added per week = $60

Total money in the account = S

Number of weeks = W

Substituting it in the above equation we get,

S = $650 + $60xW                                          (General Equation)

Total amount of money in the savings account after 11 weeks

S = $650 + $60x11

S = $650 + $660

S = $1310

Thus total amount of money in the savings account after 11 weeks is $1310.
