A)
X/3 -2 = 6
Add 2 to both sides:
X/3 = 8
Multiply both sides by 3:
X = 24
B)
X/5 +1 = 5
Subtract 1 from both sides:
X/5 = 4
Multiply both sides by 5:
X = 20
Note: 6 employees means half of the employees contributed $7.75 each.
6 x $7.75 = $46.50.
To find how much money remains to be collected, subtract $46.50 from $100.
So, $100 - $46.50 = $53.50 is the answer.
Multiply both sides:
(2x + 2)(x + 3)
= 2x^2 + 6x + 2x + 6
= 2x^2 + 8x + 6
<h2>Answer: (1) 2x^2 + 8x + 6</h2>
