Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, we can illustrate the algebraic concepts being employed and solve for the variable.

3(x - 4) = 2x + 5 Distribute the 3 into the parentheses.

3x - 12 = 2x + 5 Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation to combine like terms.

x - 12 = 5 Add 12 to both sides of the equation.

x = 17

There are nine water bottles in a fridge. Three full boxes are added. Two more boxes are added, both of which have one fewer bot
Degger [83]

The number of bottles in a full box is 12.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Suppose, the number of bottles in a full box is  x

So, the number of bottles in <u>three</u> full boxes =3x

Now, two more boxes are added, both of which have <u>one fewer bottle than the other three</u>. So, the number of bottles in these two boxes = 2(x-1)

As there were 9 bottles initially and now there are 67 bottles in the fridge, <em><u>so the equation will be</u></em>....

9+3x+2(x-1)=67\\ \\ 9+3x+2x-2=67\\ \\ 5x+7=67\\ \\ 5x=67-7\\ \\ 5x=60\\ \\ x=\frac{60}{5}=12

Thus, the number of bottles in a full box is 12.

What is the solution of the system ? <br> 2x+3y=4 <br> x-y=-3
fgiga [73]
Change the equation, x - y = -3, to isolate x or y and plug that new equation into the equation 2x + 3y = 4

I changed it to: x = y - 3
so 
2(y - 3) + 3y = 4
2y - 6 + 3y = 4
5y - 6 = 4
5y = 4 + 6
5y = 10
y = 10/5
y = 2

then you plug that 2 into the equation x = y - 3 to get the value of x

x = (2) - 3
x = -1

you can check this by plugging the x and y values into the equation 2x + 3y = 4

2(-1) + 3(2) = 4
-2 + 6 = 4
4 = 4

hope this helps :)
