the main equation you need to do is just 36 x (3/4), you will get that 27 dollars has been spent.
now you just do 36 - 27 to get the final answer
The answer is 9 1/2 - 1 6/7 = 4 1/8 hoped this helped
Answer:
23. x = 4; DE = 44
24. x = 25; DS = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
23. Point S is the midpoint of DE, so ...
DS = SE
3x +10 = 6x -2
12 = 3x . . . . . . . . . add 2-3x
4 = x . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
Then DS has length ...
DS = 3x +10 = 12 +10 = 22
and DE is twice that length, so ...
DE = 44
__
24. DS is half the length of DE, so is ...
DS = DE/2 = 56/2
DS = 28
Then x can be found from ...
DS = x +3
28 -3 = x = 25 . . . . . substitute value for DS

<em>Comment on problem 24</em>
Sometimes it is easier to work parts of a problem out of sequence. Here, finding DS first makes finding x easier.
Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
if b=4 and a=2, then you substitute both those values into the equation, turning (4b - a) into (4*4 - 2), then you use order of operations, meaning you multiply the 4 times the 4, which turns it into 16-2, and then subtract 2 to finally reach your answer of 14.
