                 2x + 1  =  2A + 3(x + A)

You want x=2 to be a solution.
So the equation will be a true statement when

                 2(2) + 1  =  2A + 3(2 + A)

                     4 + 1  =  2A + 6 + 3A

Combine like terms:  5 = 5A + 6

Subtract 6 from each side:  -1 = 5A

Divide each side by  5:     <em> -0.2  =  A</em>

A politician wants to distribute campaign flyers to 8000 homes in his district. The color flyers cost him $0.08 each, and the bl
Mice21 [21]
Given:
8000 homes
color flyers : $0.08 each
black and white flyers : $0.05 each
budget of $500

c + b = 8,000
0.08c + 0.05b = 500

c = 8,000 - b
0.08(8,000 - b) + 0.05b = 500
640 - 0.08b + 0.05b = 500
-0.03b = 500 - 640
-0.03b = -140
b = -140 / -0.03
b = 4,667 black and white flyers

c = 8,000 - b
c = 8,000 - 4,667
c = 3,333 colored flyers

0.08(c) + 0.05(b) = 500
0.08(3,333) + 0.05(4,667) = 500
266.64 + 233.35 = 500
499.99 = 500
500 = 500

Trevor solved the system of equations below. What mistake did he make in his work?
storchak [24]
The answer is <span>He subtracted 10 from the right side instead of adding 10 to the right side

Let's solve it:
</span><span>2x + y = 5
x − 2y = 10
________
Rearrange first equation to get y:
y = 5 - 2x
________
Substitute y into the second equation:
x - 2(5 - 2x) = 10
________
Multiply the terms:
x - 10 + 4x = 10
________
Combine the terms:
5x - 10 = 10
________
Add 10 on the both sides of the equation:
5x = 10 + 10
5x = 20
x = 4</span>

Answer:

72 students

Step-by-step explanation:

If 48 is the total of 2/3 of the drama club, that must mean 1/3 of the drama club is 24. To follow on this pattern, you add: 24+48=72.

Equation:

1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 24 + 24 + 24 = 72
