Well four plus seven would equal seven tenths.
First, you want to get x by itself on one side. We write the equation as
. Since 14 is being subtracted from
, we add it to both sides to cancel it out,
or
.
Your answer would be D.
Floyd's contract consists of
(i) $200 per month fixed.
(i) $12 per album sold.
Let x = number of albums sold last month.
Because total earnings is $644, therefore
200 + 12x = 644
To find x, do the following:
Subtract 200 from each side.
12x = 644 - 200 = 444
Divide each side by 12.
x = 444/12 = 37
Answer:
The equation is 12x + 200 = 644.
The solution for x (number of albums sold) is 37.
