Answer:Since the expression on each side of the equation has the same denominator, the numerators must be equal.
x
2
=
16
Take the square root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.
x
=
±
√
16

Equation: 3x + 2 = 50
# of friends: 16
Step-by-step explanation:
3 chocolates each or 3x because what "each" means is not known yet-
3x
<em>Note: Always use x for an unknown value</em>
2 remaining chocolates-
3x + 2
50 total chocolates-
3x + 2 = 50
Remove two to keep the x alone-
3x = 48
Remove the 3 or the "Coefficient" by dividing-
48/3 = 16
x = 16
Equation: 3x + 2 = 50

Answer:
y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
distribute
10 + 2y = 18
minus 10 from both sides
2y = 8
divide by 2
y = 4
so you were earning say "x", so "x" is the 100% of your paycheck.
but you're da bomb and so you got a raise of 5%, so the new amount of your paycheck is 100% + 5%, so is 105% really, and we happen to know that is $100.
