I believe that 30.5 as a fraction is 30 and 1 half but don't take my word
2(x-5)=20
Divide both sides by 2 (division of property equality)
x - 5 = 10
Add 5 to both sides (addition of property equality)
x = 15
Answer
x = 15 is the solution
Answer:
a. Sage and Tom have the same number of talk minutes left on their cell phone plans.
b. y = x - 7
Explanation:
Sage talked for 7 minutes with her dad.
Tom talked for 4 minutes with a friend and 3 more minutes with his mom which means he spoke for :
= 4 + 3
= 7 minutes
They both spoke for 7 minutes and therefore have the same amount of time left.
Algebraic expression:
Assuming the time Tom started with is denoted by x and the time he is left with is denoted by y.
The expression is:
y = x - 7
<em>The answer is 25.12 exactly</em>
