Answer: x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to open up the parenthesis so you multiply every term inside the parenthesis by -7.
1. -7x + 14 + 1 = 15 -7x
2. Combine like terms -7x + 15 = 15-7x
The two sides of the equation are the same so that means that x=1
Answer:
0.625
Step-by-step explanation:
5/8 is the same as dividing so divide them both and it will equal 0.625
Let number of fives = x then number of ones = 3x and number of tens = x - 1
so we can create the equation
x + 3x + x-1 + y = 26 where y = number of twenties
so
5x + y = 27
also we have the equation
5x + 3x + 10(x - 1) + 20y = 120
18x + 20y = 130..................................(1)
5x + y = 27 multiply by -20:-
-100x - 20y = -540..............................(2)
Adding equation (1) and (2)
-82x = -410
x = 5, that is 5 fives
Now plug x = 5 into equation 1:-
18(5) + 20y = 130
20y = 40
y = 2 , that is 2 twenties
So the answer is there are (3x) = 15 ones , 5 fives, 4 tens and 2 twenties
