Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for x, we must isolate x on one side of the equation.

x+3x+5=21

First, combine like terms. x and 3x are both terms with variables, and can be combined.

(x+3x) + 5=21

4x + 5=21

5 is being added to 4x. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.

4x+5-5= 21-5

4x= 16

x is being multiplied by 4. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4=16/4

x= 16/4

x=4

Let's check our solution. Plug 4 in for x and solve.

x+3x+5=21

4+3(4)+5=21

4+12+5=21

16+5=21

21=21

This solution checks out, so we know our answer is correct.

x is equal to 4, x=4.

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3x + 5 = 21

4x + 5 = 21

4x = 21 - 5

4x = 16

x = 16/4

x = 4

verify:

4 + 3*4 + 5 = 21

4 + 12 + 5 = 21

Because you need to subtract from 10, you need to do 10-8. Then you will add 5 since you took away 5 to subtract from 10.

Calculate the pay for the following day of a
USPshnik [31]

Answer:  $122.50

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

In          Out

8:00    12:00    = 4 hours

12:45    17:30   =<u> 4.75 hours   </u>

          Total        8.75 hours

8.75 hours x $14/hr = $122.50

Note: to subtract 12:45 from 17:30, borrow 1 hour from 17 and add 60 minutes to 30:

 17:30       →         16:90

- 12:45                -<u> 12:45 </u>

                            4: 45

4 hours 45 minutes = 4\frac{3}{4} = 4.75 hours

Community Gym charges a $50 membership fee and a $70 monthly fee. Workout Gym charges a $190
zepelin [54]

Answer:

14 month

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets create equations for these two gyms. I believe this is an algebra 1 problem.

Community Gym: y=70x+50

Workout Gym: y=60x+190

Because both gyms are equal to y, we can set them together and solve for x.

70x+50=60x+190

10x=140

x=14

You can find the cost by plugging in 14 into both of the equations. You get a cost of $1030 after 14 months

Therefore, after 14 months you will have paid the same amount for both gyms.
