Answer:
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
8x - 2 = 7x - 9
8x - 2 - 7x = 7x - 9 - 7x
x - 2 = -9
x - 2 + 2 = -9 + 2
x = -7
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + y)-(x + y)
Let m = the amount books Rachel sold on Monday.
then t = the amount books Rachel sold on Tuesday.<span>
then w = </span><span>the amount books Rachel sold on Wednesday.
On Tuesday she sold twice as she did on Monday.
t = m * 2
On Wednesday she sold 6 fewer books than she did on Tuesday
w = t - 6
Now for the fun.
t = m * 2
w = t - 6
Substitute t for real value
w = m * 2 - 6
Now solve for m.
w - 6 = m * 2 <-- Transpose the 6
(w-6)/2 = m <-- Transpose the 2.
m = (w-2)/2 < The Law of Reflexive Property of Equality</span>
