Answer: x = 0
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
4(7 - 3x) = 7(4 - 2x)
28 - 12x = 28 - 14x <em>distributed</em>
28 + 2x = 28 <em>added 14x to both sides</em>
2x = 0 <em>subtracted 28 from both sides</em>
x = 0 <em>divided both sides by 2</em>
Answer:
23
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) The sum(addition) of 21 and 5 times(multiplication) a number f is(=) 61.
f = unknown number/variable [So 21 plus 5f(5 times f) equals 61]
21 + 5f = 61 [21(one-time) + 5f(number x variable) = 61(total)]
2.) Seventeen more(addition) than seven times(multiplication) a number j is(=) 87.
j = unknown number/variable [So 17 plus 7j(7 times j) equals 87]
17 + 7j = 87
3.) n = number of calls
18 + 0.05n = 50.50
[Company charges $18 plus five cents per call(n), and the total charge was $50.50]
4.) s = the number of students
40 + 30s = 220
[Tutor charges $40 plus $30 per student(s), and the total charge was $220]
