(A) For x representing the cost of one of Tanya's items, her total purchase cost 5x. The cost of one of Tony's items is then (x-1.75) and the total of Tony's purchase is 6(x-1.75). The problem statement tells us these are equal values. Your equation is ...
... 5x = 6(x -1.75)
(B) Subtract 5x, simplify and add the opposite of the constant.
... 5x -5x = 6x -6·1.75 -5x
... 0 = x -10.50
... 10.50 = x
(C) 5x = 5·10.50 = 52.50
... 6(x -1.75) = 6·8.75 = 52.50 . . . . . the two purchases are the same value
(D) The individual cost of Tanya's iterms was $10.50. The individual cost of Tony's items was $8.75.
Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
To start, let's add on the first side to get 3x + 6x - 6 = 9x - 6. For the second side, we need to distribute the 4 to get 4(2x) + 4(-2), or 8x + (-8) or 8x - 8. Setting these equal, we subtract 8x from both sides to get x - 6 = -8, and adding 6 to both sides gives x = -2.
It would be 0.2222 so it's your answer
