8/0.61=13.114… then round if needed
15 - x = 2(x + 3)
15 - x = 2x + 6
15 = 3x + 6
9 = 3x
3 = x
x = 3
Answer: 2=x
Step-by-step explanation:
4x-1 + 2x-1 = 5x
First combine like terms together
4x-1 + 2x-1 is 4x+2x-1-1
4x+2x-1-1 =6x-2
4x-1 + 2x-1=6x-2
6x-2=5x
The oppisite of 6x is -6x so -6x on both sides of equation to keep it balanced
6x-6x-2=5x-6x
0-2=-1x
-2=-1x
Divide both sides of the equation by -1 since -1 is being multiplied by x and the oppisite of multiply is divide
-2/-1=-1x=-1
2=x
We have that
x------------------> <span>represent the number of hours Steven babysits
y----------------- > </span><span>represent the amount he charges
for x=6 hours
y=</span><span>$37.50 ----------------> y/x=37.5/6=6.25
</span>for x=8 hours
y=$50---------------------> y/x=50/8=6.25
therefore
y=6.25x
the answer is
y=6.25x
