You have to distribute the parentheses first. Since there is a negative sign in front of the parentheses, it counts as a negative 1. After you distribute you should get: -5+6x=20x+12, but that is not your final answer. After you add like terms: 17x=-17. Divide 17 on both sides: x=-1. X=-1 is your final answer.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the ticket unit cost: divide the total paid, $324, by the number of tickets, x. Then the form of the unit cost is
$324
--------- .
x
This question is highly unusual in that you write "x" as the number of tickets sold, instead of a specific number of tickets. Supposing that you'd sold 100 tickets for $324, then the unit cost would be, much more typically, a numeric ratio:
$324
----------------- = $3.24/ticket
100 tickets
The monthly expenses are found below:
Mortgage - $752 Tim's Chevron - $23Johnny's Allowance - $8Electric - $176Jenny-babysitting - $12Movie - $14Dry Cleaning - $41Tithe - $85,Credit Card - $150Food - $101Phone - $45Water - $16 Car - $272
Adding all the expenses, will give us a total of $1695.
To get the percent which is allocated for movie and the baby sitting:
Add the amount for the two then divide that to the total then multiply it by 100%
= 12 + 14 / 1695 x 100%
= 26 / 1695 x 100%
= 0.015339233 x 100%
=1.5%
The answer is 1.5%
C.) 344.50
Take what she paid before tax (325) and multiply it by 1.06 (the tax rate) and there's your answer.
