If you don’t know what a number is, you should substitute it for x and make an equation with the information you have been given. This gives:
(x + 8) x 2 = x - 11
Then, solve:
2x + 16 = x - 11
2x = x -27
x = -27
This can then be checked by using the number in the original text.
-27 + 8 = -19
-19 x 2 = -38
-38 is 11 less than -27.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
i) x points; ii) 2x - 75 = -25; iii) x = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
i) Starting points
Let's say you had x points before doubling your score.
(ii) The equation
After doubling score: 2x points
After losing 75 points: (2x - 75) points
At end of game: -25 points
The equation is
2x - 75 = -25
iii) Solution to equation
2x - 75 = -25 Add 75 to each side
2x = 50 Divide each side by 2
x = 25
Hi there!
A year is 365 days, correct?
If we save our pennies up from January 1st to December 31st, you'd have 3 dollars (since 100 pennies is 1 dollar) and 65 pennies left over. If it was a leap year, however, you'd have 3 dollars and 66 cents. :)
Hope this helps! :D
Answer:
20x+50
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of days he has the car
20x+50
It is 20x, because it costs 20 dollars for each day he has the car, and +50, because there is a fee, regardless of how many days he has the car.
Hope this helps!
