Let x be the number of MP3 players TechWiz sold last week.
If TechWiz sold in total 130 MP3 and DVD players, then it sold (130-x) DVD players.
1. TechWiz Electronics makes a profit of $35 for each MP3 player sold, then it makes a profit $35x for x MP3 players sold.
2. TechWiz Electronics makes a profit of $18 for each DVD player sold , then it makes a profit $18(130-x) for (130-x) DVD players sold.
3. An expression for the combined total profit (in dollars) TechWiz made from MP3 and DVD players last week is
35x+18(130-x).
You can simplify it:
35x+2,340-18x=17x+2,340
Answer: 35x+18(130-x) or 17x+2,340

Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
You solve a linear equation by putting the variable on one side of the equal sign and a constant on the other side. Here, variables and constants are on both sides of the equal sign, so you need to separate them.
The basic idea is that you add the opposite of any term you don't want. Whenever you perform any operation (like "add"), <em>you must do it to both sides of the equation</em>.
We observe that x-terms have coefficients of 10 and 9. We choose to add the opposite of 9x to both sides:
10 -9x -5 = 9x -9x +2
x -5 = 2 . . . . simplify
Now, we still have -5 on the left, where we don't want it. So, we add its opposite (+5) to both sides:
x -5 +5 = 2 +5
x = 7 . . . . simplify
The solution is x = 7.

<em>Additional comment</em>
If we were to end up with an x-coefficient other than 1, we would divide both sides of the equation by that coefficient. This will leave the x-term with a coefficient of 1.
