Answer:
C. Divide both sides of the equation by -2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The goal of the equation is to isolate x. In order to do that we have to remove the '-2' by doing the inverse operation. That is the opposite operation, for example addition and subtraction, multiplication and division.
Since x is being multiplied by -2, we do the inverse which is division.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
p + n + d + q = 25
Put everything into quarters.
p and q are equally likely to be drawn
q + n + d + q = 25
There are 3 times as many nickels as quarters
n = 3q
q + 3q + d + q = 25
There is 25% more dimes than quarters.
d = 1.25 q
q + 3q + 1.25q + q = 25
6.25 q = 25
q = 25/6,25
=====================
q = 4
p = 4
d = 1.25 * 4 = 5
n = 12
Shirts: 3 x 15.50 = 46.50
120 - 46.50 = 73.50 left to spend on shoes
73.50/32.50(cost per pair) = 2.26....so he was able to purchase 2 pairs of shoes.
Inserting all the given information into the identity, we have
