4x+7 = x+10 parallel sides have to be equal in a parallelogram
subtract x
3x +7 = 10
subtract 7 from each side
3x =3
divide by 3
x =1
Answer: you don't multiply the letters, the letter means any number
EX: if there was an equasion like f x 43 276 the f would be 6 because 6x 43 =276 or 5 x 65 = x
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
When Amina is 18. Saad would be;
k. 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Let "x" represent Anita's current age and let "y" represent Saad's current age, we have;
Anita's age = 2 × Saad's age
Therefore;
x = 2 × y...(1)
In 4 years, we will get;
x + 4 = 1.5 × (y + 4)...(2)
Substituting the value of x in equation (1) into equation (2), we get;
2·y + 4 = 1.5·y + 1.5 × 4 = 1.5·y + 6
2·y + 4 = 1.5·y + 6
2·y - 1.5·y = 6 - 4 = 2
0.5·y = 2
y = 2/0.5 = 4
Saad's current age = y = 4 years
From equation (1), we have;
x = 2 × y = 2 × 4 = 8
Amina's current age = x = 8 years
When Amina is 18, we have;
18 = 10 + 8 = 10 + x
Therefore, Amina would be 18 in 10 years time from now, from which we have;
Saad would be 10 years + y = 10 years + 4 years = 14 years in 10 years from now
Therefore, when Amina would be 18 years in 10 years from now Saad would be 14 years.
Let's say a = number of ordered soups, b = number of ordered sandwiches.
Then 4.5a + 7.75b = 113.50, and a and b are integers between 0 and 18 inclusive.
How do we tackle this? If all ordered soup, the cost would be $81, so we'll have at least 4 sandwiches. If all ordered sandwich, the cost would be $139.5, so at most 15 sandwiches were ordered. You also know an even number of sandwiches was ordered, to let the price end at 50 cent.
If you brute-force from 4,6,8,10,12 to 14 sandwiches, you find the answer at 10 sandwiches and 8 soups.
10*7.75 + 8*4.50 = 113.50
$97
This is because he will owe the amount of the check $52, plus he will also owe the two fees which will total $45
