Answer:
Let the number be x
The expression above is written as
15x² = 20x
Divide both sides by x
We get
15x²/x = 20x/x
15x = 20
Divide both sides by 15
x = 20/15
x = 4/3
Hope this helps
The coefficient is the number in front of the variable. If there isn't a number, it is understood to be a 1
¾ = 75%
so turn 75% into a decimal by dividing by 100 and get .75
then multiply:
.75x12=9
so ¾ of a dozen is 9 eggs
now multiply:
5x12=60 eggs
so now just add 60+9=69
So Jesse has 69 eggs
Hope this helps!! :D
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
just simplify the LHS first.
You can either multiply 1/5 by (x+3) and then solve
or
multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of 1/5 on LHS
I will multiply by 5
(x+3)= -10x-15 ( 5*1/5(x+3)= -5(2x+3)
now rearrange the equation
x+3=-10x-15
-10x-15-x-3=0
-11x-17=0
-11x=17
x= -17/11
Answer: Each have to sell 91 candy bars to have the same amount of money.
Step-by-step explanation: Suppose x represents the amount of candy bars.
Team A already have $165 and they are selling each candy bar for $2. The mathematical equation that represents the amount of money they have is
A: 165 + 2x
Team B initially has $74 and will sell each candy bar for $3. Then, the mathematical equation representing their amount of money is
B: 74 + 3x
So, to have the same amount of money:
165 + 2x = 74 + 3x
x = 165 - 74
x = 91
<u>Teams A and B will have the same amount of money when each of them </u><u>sell 91 candy bars</u>.
