First they have to decide on a pair of pants and they have 8 different choices. For each of those choices they have a choice of 5 different shirts, so that gives them 8 times 5 = 40 different pant/shirt combinations. For each those 40 possibilities, they have 3 different ties they could select, so altogether they have 40 times 3 = 120 different outfits.
The first step can be subtracting 2x from both sides leaving the equation with 6x + 3 = -15
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
2
x
+
3
=
9
We want to find the variable
x
, so we have to make it alone. To do so, first subtract
3
from both sides of the equation:
2
x
+
3
−
3
=
9
−
3
2
x
=
6
Now divide both sides by
2
:
2
x
2
=
6
2
So the final answer is:
x
=
3
Hope this helps!
