Question

You practice playing your guitar every day. You spend 15 minutes practicing chords and the rest of the time practicing a new song. So the total number of minutes y you practice for the week is given by y=7(15+x), where x is the number of minutes you spend on practicing a new song. Solve the equation for x.

Answer 1

Answer:

x=(y-105)/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the total time taken to practice is given by the expression as

y=7(15+x)

Simplifying the expression we have

y=105+7x

Solving for x (that is making x subject of formula we have)

7x=y-105

Divide both sides by 7 we have

x=(y-105)/7

Therefore the expression is

x=(y-105)/7
