I believe it is asking for x so I will be finding the value of x.
X = 4, work is shown below:
−2x=−3x+12−2x
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−2x=−3x+12−2x
−2x=−3x+12+−2x
−2x=(−3x+−2x)+(12)(Combine Like Terms)
−2x=−5x+12
−2x=−5x+12
Step 2: Add 5x to both sides.
−2x+<u>5x</u>=−5x+12+<u>5x</u>
3x=12
Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.
3x/3 =1 2/3
x=4
Not 100% sure but maybe, 4, -3
Hope this helps ♀️❣
Answer:
18.75 gallons of ice
Step-by-step explanation:
I divided the 2.5 gallons of ice by the number of buckets (4) it filled to determine how many gallons of ice are in each bucket.
2.5 / 4 = 0.625
I then multiplied the amount of ice it takes to fill a bucket (0.625) by 30 buckets to get 18.75 gallons of ice.
