Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
9x + -25 = 5x + 7
Reorder the terms:
-25 + 9x = 5x + 7
Reorder the terms:
-25 + 9x = 7 + 5x
Solving
-25 + 9x = 7 + 5x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
-25 + 9x + -5x = 7 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 9x + -5x = 4x
-25 + 4x = 7 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
-25 + 4x = 7 + 0
-25 + 4x = 7
Add '25' to each side of the equation.
-25 + 25 + 4x = 7 + 25
Combine like terms: -25 + 25 = 0
0 + 4x = 7 + 25
4x = 7 + 25
Combine like terms: 7 + 25 = 32
4x = 32
Divide each side by '4'.
x = 8
Simplifying
x = 8
How man bags were used?
41 / 3 = 13.7
We can say about 14 bags by rounding to the nearest whole number. Therefore, 14 bags were used.
-5 because the variable is x and a coefficient comes before the variable.
Hope this helps!
