Distribute 2 and remove parentheses :
1/2x+8=3x-6
Multiply both sides of equation by 2:
x+16=6x-12
Move terms:
x+16-6x=-12
x-6x=-12-16
Collect like terms:
-5x=-28
Divide both sides:
x=28/5
Complete question :
Write a system of equations, with one equation describing the cost to bowl at Bowl-o-Rama and the other describing the cost to bowl at Bowling Pinz. For each equation, let x represent the number of games played and let y represent the total cost.
Bowl-O-Rama rents shoes for $2 and each game cost $2.50
Bowling Pinz rents shoes for $4 and each game cost $2
Answer:
Bowl-O-Rama:
y = $2 + $2.50x
Bowling pinz:
y = $4 + $2x
Step-by-step explanation:
The total cost is the sum of shoe rental plus the product of the unit game rate and the number of games played.
Total cost, y
x = number of games played
Bowl-O-Rama:
y = Shoe rent + (unit rate per game * number of games)
y = $2 + ($2.50 * x)
y = $2 + $2.50x
Bowling Pinz :
y = Shoe rent + (unit rate per game * number of games)
y = $4 + ($2 * x)
y = $4 + $2x
Answer:
+
Step-by-step explanation:
938 + 347 = 1285
2007 - 1285 = 722
CHECK:
938 + 347 + 722 = 2007
Because of rules of geometry we know that a+b=180 degrees so we can add the equations together and set that equal to 180 and solve
6x-48+4x+38=180
subtract 38 from both sides and add 48 to both sides
then add like terms
10x=170
and divide by 10 to get
x=17
