Answer:
C. Add 15 to both sides
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation:
99x – 15 = 45
To solve:
<u>Step 1</u>: Add 15 to both sides:
⇒ 99x – 15 + 15 = 45 + 15
⇒ 99x = 60
<u>Step 2</u>: Divide both sides by 99:
⇒ 99x ÷ 99 = 60 ÷ 99
⇒ x = 60/99
⇒ x = 20/33
Answer: 4x = -8
Reasoning:
Multiply both sides by 4
Answer: He can completely decorate 11 cars
Explanation: since he puts 2 snowflakes on each of the 4 windows on one car, in total Jack uses 8 snowflakes per car. If he makes 90 snowflakes, 90 divided by 8 gives you the amount of cars he can decorate. 90/8 = 11.25, but since you can’t have .25 cars the answer is 11.
Answer: x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Micah is 5 inches shorter than twice the height of Jasmine
Micah = 5 inches shorter than 2 x Jasmine
Micah = 2 x Jasmine - 5 <em>(jasmine is 32 inches tall. Replace jasmine with 32)
</em>
Micah = 2 x 32 - 5
Micah = 64 - 5
Micah = 59
Micah is 59 inches tall
