Answer: x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5(x+4)-3=(x-2)

1.5x+6)-3=4.5x-9

1.5x+3=4.5x-9

      +9          +9

1.5x+12=4.5x

divide 1.5x and 4.5

12=3x

/3    /3

x=4

Answer: x = - 52

expand

5x+20−3=4.5x−9

then simplify

5x+17=4.5x−9

then subtract 4.5 from each sides

5x+17−4.5x=−9

Simplify  

0.5x+17=−9

then subtract 17 from both sides

0.5x=−9−17

then simplify

0.5x=−2

then divide both side by 0.5

-26/0.5

so x = - 52

Harman [31]
<span>Michelle family drove 272.48 miles.
=> Michelle calculated that they drove 26.2 miles per gallon of gas.
Question: how many gallons of gas did the car use?
=> Unit rate = 26.2 miles per gallon
Now, they travelled a total of 272.48 miles.
To get the answer let’s divide the total miles they travel to the number of miles for each gallon of gas.
=> 272.48 / 26.2 = 10.2
Thus, they need 10.2 gallon of gas to get to their destination.</span>

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

4 movies, $20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Family Video

charges $10 for a monthly membership and

$2.50 per movie

let the number of movies be x

and the charge for x movies be y

y= 10+2.5x----------1

Babe's  Movies

charges a $12

membership and $2 per

movie.

let the number of movies be x

and the charge for x movies be y

y= 12+2x----------2

equate 1 and 2

10+2.5x= 12+2x

collect like terms

12-10= 2.5x-2x

2= 0.5x

x= 2/0.5

x= 4 movies

put x= 4 in equation 1 or 2

y= 12+2x----------2

y= 12+2*4

y= 12+8

y= $20
