Answer:
x = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 3) - 5 = 
(x - 1)
Multiply through by 8 to clear the fractions
6(x - 3) - 40 = x - 1 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side
6x - 18 - 40 = x - 1
6x - 58 = x - 1 ( subtract x from both sides )
5x - 58 = - 1 ( add 58 to both sides )
5x = - 57 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = -
Answer:
Each student's contribution = $17
Each student will save $ 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of the block of 5 tickets is $85.00.
Dividing the $ 85 by 5 would give the equal amount each would have to contribute.
$ 85/5=$ 17
Each will have to pay $ 17 to buy a block of 5 tickets for $85.00.
We can find the amount each will save by subtracting the amount to be shared by the 5 students from the amount paid by the 4 students.
They will save
$ 20-$17=
$3
Each of them will save $3 if they can get a fifth person to join them and the 5 people equally divide the price of the 5-ticket block.
Answer: So lets say that the width is w. The length(L) is 4 meters greater than 3 times the width. 3 times the width would be 3w, and then 4 meters greater than that would be 3w+4. You have two widths and two lengths to a rectangle that must add up to equal 72. So 2w + 2L =72. But remember that one L equals 3w+4
2(w) + 2(3w+4) = 72
2w+6w+8=72
8w+8=72
8w=64
w=8
L=3w+4
L=3(8)+4
L=24+4
L=28
So the dimensions are 8 meters by 28 meters
To check 2(8)+2(28)=72
