X = 3
2(4x - 3) - 8 = 4 + 2x
1. Distribute
8x - 6 - 8 = 4 + 2x
2. Collect like terms
8x - 14 = 4 + 2x
3. Collect like terms again (add 14 and subtract 2x)
6x = 18
4. Divide by 6
x = 3
about 78.539 meters. smallest diameter = 50. plug that into the equation C = πd
1 yd = 3 ft
This means the unit cost per feet is $4.99/3.
Let 'x' represent the length of the material in feet that you can be with $30.
(4.99/3)*x <= 30
Diana's age=21 years
Carmen's age=x years
Andrew's age=2x years
21+x+2x=45
21+3x=45
3x=45-21
3x=24
x=24/3
x=8
2x8=16
Carmen is 8 years old and Andrew is 16 years old. Hoped that helps:)
Well the first equation has a variable in it while the other one doesn't also the first expression if set equal to 0 is -2 while the other one is 5
