Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, you need to set up a proportion:

$\frac{x-2}{15}$ = $\frac{x-1}{18}$

Then cross multiply:

15x - 15 = 18x + 36

Then subtract 15x from both sides:

-15 = 3x + 36

Subtract 36 from both sides:

-51 = 3x

Finally, divide both sides by 3:

x = -7

Brad bought a used bike for $8 more than half of its original price. Brad paid $40 for the bike. What was the original price?

Viefleur [7K]

$\huge\boxed{\$64}$

Start by writing a formula, where $x$ is Brad's purchase price and $y$ is the original price.

$40=8+\frac{y}{2}$

Subtract $8$ from both sides.

$32=\frac{y}{2}$

Multiply both sides by $2$ .

$\boxed{64}=y$

X=2 because first you have to combine like terms. Than you have to bring the Varible on one side. Finally you solve for the Varible and you get the answer2.
