Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
3(x−5)−5=23
(3)(x)+(3)(−5)+−5=23(Distribute)
3x+−15+−5=23
(3x)+(−15+−5)=23(Combine Like Terms)
3x+−20=23
3x−20=23
Step 2: Add 20 to both sides.
3x−20+20=23+20
3x=43
Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.
3x
/3 = 43
/3
x=
43
/3
Answer:
x > 60
Step-by-step explanation:
From the picture attached,
An arrow starting with a hollow circle from x = 60, directing towards positive numbers (greater than 60).
So, hollow circle will represent an inequality with no sign of 'equal to' and arrow will represent the sign of greater than (As moving ahead of 60).
Inequality representing the picture will be,
x > 60
So we have 2 variables here: tacos and orders of nachos.
When we translate the paragraphs into equation:

Now, in this situation we can make use the elimination method by converting 3n to -27n.

Add both equations:

So we find that one taco costs $2.75.
We can plug this into any of the first two equations to find n:

So one order of nachos cost $1.40.
