x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 5x - 29

Combine like terms.

3x + 3 = 5x - 29

Subtract 3x from both sides.

3 = 2x - 29

Add 29 to both sides.

32 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2.

16 = x

(17 Leon uses 3/4 cup water to make a serving of iced tea.

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

A.) 12 3/4 cups

B.) 117 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

If one serving of ice tea contains 3/4 cup of water, how much does 7 serving have?

To answer this, you must multiply 3/4 and 17

17 is the same as 17/1, so multiply the numerators and denominators

17 x 3 = 51

1 x 4 = 4

51/4 = 12 3/4

So, Leon used 51/4 or 12 3/4 cups of water

If the cooler has 88 servings of tea, how many cups of water does it have?

To solve this, divide 88 by 3/4

Dividing 88 by 3/4 is the same as multiplying 88 by 4/3.

Again, 88 is the same as 88/1 so multiply the numerators and the denominators.

88 x 4 = 352

1 x 3 = 3

352/3 = 117 1/3

So, there are 352/3 or 117 1/3 cups of water in the cooler

I hope this helps!

What is the correct solution to 1/2(x+18)=4(2x-6)-9x

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

x = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

I interpreted your problem as:

$\frac{1}{2} (x+18) = 4(2x-6)-9x$

I simplified the problem to:

$\frac{1}{2} x+9 = 8x-24-9x$

I combined like terms:

$\frac{1}{2} x+9 = -x-24$

I moved all x to one side and all other constants to the other:

$\frac{3}{2} x = -33$

I divided by 3/2 (1.5) on both sides to isolate x:

$x = 22$

Hope it helps! (:
