Number of books each of them have:
Jaime: x
Grant: x - 6
Ky: 3 (x - 6)
There are 176 books in total, so we can write it down as:
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 (x - 6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 * x + 3 * (-6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 2x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 5x - 24 / + 24 (both sides)
5x = 200 / ÷ 5 (both sides)
x = 40
Doublecheck:
Jamie: 40
Grant: 40 - 6 = 34
Ky: 3 (40 - 6) = 3 * 34 = 102
102 + 34 + 40 = 176, so it's correct :)
B. 200.96 in. The area of the pizza with a 16" diameter (8" radius) is 201.06.
Okay first you need to combine like terms together (3x and 1x)
7x + 4 = 5 + 4x
now you need x only on one side, you could subtract either 7x or 4x
3x + 4 = 5
subtract 4 over
3x = 1 is the answer
